The problem stemmed from the fact that no one involved realized how the hose was internally constructed or what kinds of problems that might lead to.
A maintenance supervisor went to the local hose shop and had some hoses made up, evidently with whatever they had available. No study of contruction or compatibility or proper application. No consulitng with engineers, no consulting with experts. As long as it was rated for the pressure and fit.
"A hose is a hose".
We have rules against that.
