Rubber steam hoses should be drained after each use. Condensate remaining in the hose may be absorbed by the inner layer of the hose wall. When the hose is reheated, the condensate transforms into steam and expands damaging the inner layer (‘popcorning’ effect). If the condensate comes into contact with the steel braid, it can cause corrosion and severe deterioration of the hose structure.
