Demystify: 

One of the better ways to secure a hose is to replace them with flexible hoses with compression fittings such as these sold by Swagelok. If it is glass then having a glassblower put on a ball joint and using a matching metal ball joint with a pipe thread is another improvement. Banning use of tygon or similar tubing on cooling water or recirculating lines is the best answer.  None of these are always feasible but you can greatly reduced the failure frequency.

Hi, all,

We recently had a flood due to an insecurely attached hose on a water-cooled condenser set up overnight.

So I am on the hunt for ways to reduce this risk, besides attaching the hose more securely.  I know there are recirculating system options, but I don't know what's suitable for overnight cooling.

All input welcome,
Thanks,
