The Hidden Cost of Poor Hose Routing, and How to Fix It

In hydraulic systems, failure is rarely random. Look closely at the signs: severe external abrasion, internal erosion, blistering, or sudden blowouts. More often than not, these issues point back to a single, preventable root cause: improper hose routing.

When hoses rub against rough surfaces, make tight bends, or pulse against metal edges, their lifespan is cut dramatically short. The damage might start small, but over time, it leads to costly outcomes: system inefficiencies, dangerous leaks, expensive replacements, and unplanned downtime.

The BETA Clamp Solution

Foster Manufacturing’s BETA Hydraulic Cushioned Clamps are designed to eliminate these problems before they start. Built for strength, vibration resistance, and long-term durability, BETA Clamps offer a smarter way to route hydraulic hoses.

By securing hoses in place, BETA Clamps prevent the rubbing, pinching, and kinking that can destroy a system from the inside out. Their cushioned support keeps hose curves smooth, helping to reduce flow turbulence and maintain high system efficiency. This not only extends hose life but also safeguards your entire hydraulic system from pressure surges and pulsing stress.

Even more importantly, BETA Clamps help keep hoses away from heat sources and sharp metal edges, two of the most common causes of system leaks and hose failure. With proper clamping, your hoses stay protected, your connections remain secure, and your equipment stays running longer.

Proudly made in the USA at our Springfield, MO facility, BETA Clamps combine quality craftsmanship with trusted performance.
