Frequently Asked Questions - that's right, they are questions that have
been asked frequently.
Q: I already have
Loc-Line, how do I tell what size I have?
A: Loc-Line sizes are
measured by the inside diameter at it's smallest point. You can also
check the drawings above or the ones located on each system page to help
determine what you have.
Q: Do I need the assembly
pliers? Can they assemble and disassemble?
A: The pliers are designed
for assembly but are not required to assemble the Loc-Line parts
together. The pliers are recommended because they make assembly work
quick and easy. Without the pliers, there is no real "trick" to getting
them assembled, it is a matter of force. Assembly can be made easier by
first rubbing the Loc-Line ball with your fingers and then snapping them
together. The pliers will disassemble the Loc-Line in the 1/4"ID and
1/2"ID system but not the 3/4"ID system.
Q: Is Loc-Line water proof
or leak-proof?
A: No. Loc-Line is designed
to be leak resistant but it is not leak proof.
Q: Is Loc-Line safe for
food contact?
A: The material used to
manufacture Loc-Line is an acetal copolymer. This material, in
accordance to the rules 21 CFR 177.2470, meets the requirements of this
regulation for aqueous food contact. Not applicable for fatty foods and
alcohol. All colorants are used at the recommended
let-down ratio and meet 21 CFR 178-3297 for food contact.
Q: Is Loc-Line safe for
aquariums.
A: Yes the material used is
safe for aquariums.
Q: What is Loc-Line made
out of?
A: Loc-Line is manufactured
with a premium grade acetal copolymer material which is chemically
resistant to petroleum products, coolants, and most common chemicals.
Q: How much weight can
Loc-Line hold?
A: A common question but no
answer. Generally, the larger the system size the more weight it can
hold. There are a variety of variables that affect the Loc-Line
including temperature, angle, and weight distribution. Due to these
variables we cannot answer the question and recommend that you test your
application.
Q: What sort of crazy
names have you heard Loc-Line being called?
A: There is only one
Loc-Line, but some people don't know it by it's true name. Some have
referred to it as flexible conduit, gooseneck hose, caterpillar hose,
crazy bumpy line, LineLoc, LinkLoc, LockLine, Lock Line, snap hose, snap
together line, and Lego looking hose. You buy enough of it - you can
call it whatever you want!
