The Macomb Group sells every kind of hose imaginable, from industrial to air, food and beverage to petroleum, and natural gas to automobile. Obviously a petroleum hose can’t be used for a food and beverage application; there are FDA regulations and health and sanitary issues to consider. Likewise, you can’t have an industrial hose that will corrode when certain chemicals pass through it. Each hose, as well as its couplings and connections, needs to be specifically made for its application.

The Macomb Group Hose Division doesn’t simply sell pre-manufactured kits; instead, it customizes hoses depending on the very specific applications of each client.

To identify the correct hose and connections, Macomb consultants ask for specific details about the way the hose will be used:

• Size
• Temperature
• Application
• Media
• Pressure
• Ends
• Delivery

Known as STAMPED, this series of questions helps narrow down the right options for any application.

Rely on the experts 
It’s not surprising that many customers who call The Macomb Group haven’t delved this deeply into their hosing needs. Most people don’t think about hose-specifics and the plethora of variables until they call to place an order.

However, customers don’t have to be hose experts — The Macomb Group is just a call away. The Macomb Group is invested in customer satisfaction and won’t sell a customer a hose that isn’t appropriate. You can rest assured the professionals in the Hose Division will take time to customize the perfect hose solution for your application.
