Connection and sealing of high pressure drain tube hose
The connection and sealing method of high pressure drain hoses must meet standards for both strength and safety. The connection must be secure against the original pipe. It should be free from any delaminations or lifts and not have any dry spots. The hose should only be made from approved pressure-rated material. It should also be provided with an accessible backwater or swing check valve. Section 4050 requires that the sealing method be in accordance with these requirements.
Use high pressure drain hoses with caution
When using a high-pressure drain hose that meets standards, take proper precautions to avoid injuries and damage to plumbing fixtures. The hose should be equipped with an air break or another backflow prevention device. Make sure that the coupling is clean.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as a full face mask and goggles for protection. Leather gloves are ideal, as cotton gloves can catch on the cable as it is fed into the drain. Waterproof boots, jackets, and pants are also necessary for protection against slippery surfaces.
When using high-pressure drain hoses, take care to protect your hearing. High-pressure water can cause serious injury when it comes into contact with your skin and eyes. You must follow OSHA rules when working around these tools. Wearing personal protective equipment is essential, and wearing coveralls and a heavy raincoat will protect you from flying debris.
It is important to assess patients before removing their drains. Patients with drains should be monitored closely for fever and signs of infection. Blood cultures may be necessary to confirm that there is an infection if these symptoms are present. If you are unsure about the cause of an infection in a patient, you can refer them to your hospital’s doctor for further testing.
