***note**** there are pins in the clamps.

I have never been a big fan of just clipping the cable to the welded hook (5-4).Rather taking a strap around it just below the welded bracket and hooking the strap.Same applies to the 4" end.However it does appear that would catch it if failure accured.I just like being a little overly safe.

Hey, if you need to borrow a double 4 to go between the steel i'll loan you one.

Looks alright to me!

It depends. Are you pooring outside (so you have the hose hanging in the boom) Then this is an example of something I think is NOT safe but it is alowed. The chance on a good hose whip with a reduced hose hanging in the boom is MUCH, MUCH bigger than with a 5'' hose. Than I might even think a good clean 5''double 90 is safer. But when you have the hose down on the ground: Good Job :-) But I'd still not allow any body to walk under it when I lift it up.

actually what i was doing was reducing it all the way down to 2 1/2  to hook onto a nipple to fill a round culvert going under the roadway. i was a little nervous about trying to pump flo-fill thru it but at a VERY wet slump it went thru withouut a hitch. nobody was around any of the reducers or hose once it was hooked up.

As long as the clevis and strap have the correct rating and clamps are pinned looks good to me.

at least your contractor had the brains to provide you with something to clamp onto to fill that pipe... i showed up on a job last week and the guy tells me he wants to fill 200' of 18" pipe no nipple or flange or anything, just a gaping 18" hole... "just stick your hose in there and soup up the mud so it will flow..."

oh and what was it about your set up in that picture that you were wondering about? the strap or the extra reducer or what? it all looked ok to me...
