Not sure how I have missed this one but WOW!!!
Your fab work is awsome. Can't wait to see more. |

Hey Mark, I appreciate the heads up. Probably saved me a mess :cheers:. That was the hose the hydraulic store recommended to me about a year ago for the application. I called them up, and the max working PSI for the hose is 1500 which your right its not going to be enough. Thanks again. |
Billy -- You can use that kind of hose on the LOW PRESSURE side - ie., the return line from your canister but BENT is correct - you need TFE braided hose on the HIGH Pressure side - pump to rack....
From my experience - in case you haven't worked with the TFE stuff -- don't cut this with a cut off saw -- it MELTS the liner and you'll never get the hose put together. And ditto - if you try to use some type of "clamping" cut off... that squeezes the TFE and deforms it. I have a circular saw - set up with a hose cutting jig (sold by XPS I think) the saw uses a blade that is toothless -- called a CIRCULAR KNIFE BLADE -- think about a meat cutters blade... and this blade slices through the braid and TFE liner without the heat or deformation. Maybe BENT can chime in here on a way to cut this stuff without the saw/jig investment?????? Something else - YOU might know about - but when I respond to threads like this - I write with the thought that others may be reading... Use SWIVEL fittings on this stuff... because when you tighten them - they'll try to twist your hose - and it makes it almost impossible then to route it the way you envisioned. With the swivel fittings - the hose can remain exactly how you intended. Just my .00000005 worth. :lateral: :woot: |

No problem!! I tend to notice the small things. Quote:
They don't make a swivel teflon hose end that I'm aware of or ever seen in my experience. Instal one end and then loosely instal the other. Route your hose and screw the connections on. Take a marker and draw a line on the hose and on the fitting. Take it off and tighten it up in a vice and make sure your fitting and hose line up with the marker on the final tighten and you should have no problems. Teflon hose assem. are time consuming. So be patient and take your time. Hope I made sense. Mark |

Mark --- I don't want to in any way say "see here" or that kind of thing - but I have a whole drawer full of PTFE Aeroquip SWIVEL fittings... so I HOPE I'M HELPING you both out here!!! Because they really make a lot of this SO MUCH EASIER! Here's a link to the Aeroquip PDF catalog page with the PTFE hose ends that swivel -- they're plated - so I BUFF 'EM UP BEFORE I put them on the hose... and they stay nice a shiny! http://www.hydraulic-supply.com/pdf/performance/40.pdf :hail: :hail: |

Mis-under standing. When you referred to swivel hose end I thought you ment a live swivel like 45's, 90's on steel braided lines. Which means it can move once it's assembled. All the teflon hose ends 45's and 90's are non swivel. Which means once it's assembled in it's fixed position the angle doesn't change. Example: two 90 degree ends. One end is assembled and angled down in the 6 o'clock position. If the other end is tightened down in the 9 o'clock position those two angles never change. If they were live swivels on both ends then they will turn 360 degrees for ever. Don't forget all hose ends swivel or you could only tighten one end. These discussions are always good. It helps everyone become smarter. Thanks Mark |
Killer fab work,like this project alot!!!
