dont use that s tube one  plug at the end and you hurt the man at the end of the hose real bad.. they are banded in th st of wash.

Here's a video on hose whipping,as long as the site is up and running.This is a good example of what a hose can and will do.Now factor in a man on the end of that hose with that s-bend 99.9% of the time he's getting hurt.Use a self reducing hose and stay out of harms way.

PUMPCOM thats is one dangerous setup I would say either get rid of or put the pipe part above the tip hose I had rather get hit by rubber than steel.

Oh boy here we go again

I don't think thats pumpcons pump but because of this website i went and cut off my metal end about a month ago after running a double ended hose for years.

I think this post and question is from one "featured member" to the other. From "PUMPCON" to "Buttons"

 (and Ruck's right - here we go again......)

at first glance i thought this was a tip over, then i saw it was an optical illusion. then i saw the real problem with this picture! dude i know a hose man who is half retarded because of one of those things! take it off and do your hose man, your company and yourself a big favor.

4in works better on walls On the concrete brake pipe s pipe what ever. you use the weight of the concrete comming down the boom no real line pressure ,and don't take your eye off it .If it plugs and your watching.Nothing Will come of it

Seriously i use a 4" hose all day every day the only time i put on a 5 is when im pumping into a hole..

Never had a prob, be on the ball all the time and there will never be a prob.. The cave man days are gone, keep them gone!!!

Hey dont flog Buttons for this pic , he might not know any better, he might have been taught that way and its the only way he knows......

2 Years ago when i started pumping i was showed to used this after finding out the out come of what could happen. I now use a reducing hose 5 to 4 or 5 to 3 depending on the job. That was one of my first jobs and a old photo 

Thank You Buttons,

I'm glad you don't use it anymore.I really thought this was going to get ugly again.LOL HAHAHA. Have a great day and keep it coming out the right end.

rusty22, you dont blink? view never gets abstructed?   nuf said...

 Those are bad news dude, Try this out, I got the idea here on this website and have used it myself on blockfills and quadlock walls...

 Props to Kris Leers from Belgium for posting his idea here several months ago

Is that a traffic cone ducktaped to the end of the hose?

 Sure is. with a little wire for back up of course. Work good.

 I gave the guy loads of grief when I first saw it. Then I was sent to a blockfill job and only had a 4" whip so I tried it out? I've used it a few times since, in areas where 2" & 3" hose cant be used it's a safer option than an S bend.
