an fitting how to?

[GregWeld]

Okay here we go.....

Get yourself some Aluminum jaws for your vise!




AND some way to cut cleanly..... MOST IMPORTANT!!!!


Saw and holder from XRP....




Or giant cutters -- I hate these because they deform the hose but they do work...






Or the way MOST people do this - by taping the hose and using an air cut off saw.... USE THE THIN 1/6" blades!





Make a NICE CLEAN CUT!!





Insert the hose ferrel or whatever the heck it's called into your jaws of life...







Insert the hose with a push and TWIST..... until it seats just below the threads!









Re-install in the vise...






LUBE THE HOSE!!







Anti seize the fitting!! Don't forget this part -- aluminum GALLS real easy... and the fittings are EXPENSIVE! LOL







PUSH DOWN WHILE GETTING THREAD STARTED!






Tighten it up....






DUUUUUDE!! <spicolli style> You're done!!

Nice write up!

I might add I had good luck taping the top of the hose right at the female fitting in this pic. That way if when you are screwing in the other side of fitting if the hose pushes out you can tell. Saves some time redoing hose ends that leak because they aren't seated all the way.
