How to Assemble AN, Push Loc, PTFE, Crimp Style Fittings and Hose!

[@danielupchurch6024]

The fact you guys take the time to call the customer when an order doesn't seem right to make sure they ordered the right stuff is going way beyond what any other company does, and the fact you guys did that on an order recently for me blew me away. Definitely made me a customer for life.

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Thanks Daniel. We try to run our company as if we were the person on the other end as best as we can. It stinks waiting for parts just to realize things aren’t going to work after all. We appreciate your business, kind words, and support!

[@matt6951]

Thanks for including pushlock for us poor people!

[@lordleonusa]

I have used pushlock on my oil cooler system, my hose shrank some in storage, so it was an absolute PIG to get over the barbs! Even with Silicone lubricant and putting the hose into boiling water! I could only manage 3 or 4 a day, and my system has 12 on it! I did, however, also use stainless steel clamps on all the fittings.

[@cngodfather]

@@lordleonusa That was my thought. adding exterior clamps seems like good security.

This is probably the best AN related fitting how to top to bottom I've seen on the net yet. Great stuff man, my first time utilizing PTFE I appreciate the break down !

[@Lordspaghett]

Good to know I did the PTFE fittings halfway right on my build, I whacked it on the ground until that metal ring was flush against the fuel line, no leaks!

[@ekitching]

Nice video, thanks for taking the time doing this. I have had great luck with Aeroquip AN hose and fittings. Pretty easy to assemble and bulletproof. Used a hacksaw to cut it after wrapping with duck tape. I have had this hose on my '94 Z28 for about 20 yrs with no problems whatsoever. I noticed the prices on this stuff have gone thru the roof.

[@donhenry6611]

I just want to thank you guys for doing this video because I'm new to the a.m. fitting stuff and I appreciate it

[@martinlund9524]

One of the best out there to explain easy and fast without any annoying talk about something elso or some sponsor shit. Straight to the point. Good! One tip is to use a bit of electrical tejp to just se if the hose is mowing away from the fitting. just take a bit and place right behind the fitting. Then you can see if the hose is all the way in or you should redo the work. Angle grinder and so is a bad idé. They just send small stuff inside the hose and that is going inside yours injectors. The fuel filter will not take all of that.

[@cfm17hellcat11]

[@jacobclark89]

I'm making up some brake hoses , and I think that the hose I got is for crimping cause it's nylon core , I don't know if I should buy new hose or buy crimp fittings

[@DarylWhicker]

Thank you for this valuable info. I didn't know that there was a difference between PTFE and regular braided hoses and that the fittings were not interchangeable.

[@markbertrand2695]

I've seen a lot of how to videos for auto RnR. Great job, very direct and clear. Thank you.

[@cmdr_scotty]

learned a trick from a guy who ran a Pontiac nostalgic top fuel dragster on metal braided AN hose, put just a little bit of electrical tape on the end (one, maybe two layers). Keeps the braid from fraying out and going crazy when you are assembling the hose, and doesn't interfere with it staying sealed.

[@scod3908]

Use PTFE plumbers tape - no residue and it comes off super easily :)

[@Chubbza5]

Legitimately here because I was about to call my supplier and ask wtf fittings he sent me with my hose. Thanks man! It sounds like you've picked up quite a few questions from people like me.

[@robertperez4742]

Thank you guys so much for this content extremely helpful for a beginer and even someone with some experience

[@brianm6117]

Cutting stainless braided PTFE was the bane of my existence at times. Sometimes it would fray no matter what you did. We got a nice set of cutters and they were dull out of the box. Sharpened them up and they dulled again quickly. When the outer stainless frays its impossible to get a crimp fitting on it, and the covering will stab the ever living crap out of your fingers. Oh, another note about PTFE nominal sizing. On most hoses -10 is 5/8 ID. On PTFE -10 is (usually) ~1/2" ID. Nominal sizing on PTFE always was a headache. If someone needed actual 1/4" then they needed -05, so the crimp fitting was a 5 hose 4 swivel.

[@scod3908]

Wrap some teflon plumbers tape over the braid before you cut it. Doesn't leave a residue like electrical tape and is super easy to remove.

[@keefespencer1173]

If you don't do it already you should sell a kit of hoses with crimped ends on it already to go on your website that way you have another product but it will save a bunch of driveway builders a bunch of time and headache of having to put certain ends on certain hoses and killing their hands and save them from hunting down tools you don't have and so on plus crimped end hoses are pretty universal and like you said it's one of the best ways to make an end for a hose if you have the very expensive crimper

[@robertalmanza9210]

Have used Aeroquip push lock when making oil cooler lines,250psi bursting pressure -30/ 300'f when assembled properly with a slimmer fitting profile so don't be put off by them. Warming the end of the line in hot water does make life easier. Amazing how they seal/work but they do.

[@jordantrujillo293]

Agreed, they’re my favorite personally. But I also put crimp clamps on them also for an extra piece of mine.

I've had a leak from a push lock fitting on an oil cooler for a drift car I crewed for. It was miserable to assemble and came apart at a terrible time. It coated the car (including front tires) but didn't result in a crash. We did have a magazine shoot with Super Street scheduled an hour later and it was a mad dash to clean the car up for golden hour. We also smoked a journal bearing turbo shortly after and I can only assume it was the cause.

[@RicheySynthetics]

Can you use push to lock hose on a regular AN fitting? Or is there a difference in hose diameter both inside and out - overall? I have push-lock hose but I bought the nylon braiding sleeve to put over it but just need to know what fittings I can use? I actually have a box of fittings (AN) that I was hoping to be able to use on the push-lock but after watching your video I’m assuming I cannot do that because each fitting has a specific hose for them except where you stated those two fittings can use the same hose. Thanks for an awesome detailed video!!!

[@totokarjan4740]

excellent video, cleared this up for me heaps, was unsure which way to go, now i can build the right setup, but what about fittings going from 6an fuel rail in say fitting a aftermarket sr20 fuel rail with 6an fittings, then connecting them to the stock fuel lines when just running pump fuel, what do you recommend to make it the easiest way possible, without cutting stock fuel lines and having to flare them if thats possible at all? would barbed be the best option there then?

[@yt650]

Depending on who’s brand push lock hose you’re interested in purchasing, you should check to see if it’s compatible with gasoline. Some push lock hose is not compatible with modern gasoline and was never intended to be used for that. I pressure test hoses after assembly and when I received my first high pressure pump and made my first test fixture the first thing I tested was push lock hose. The working pressure of the test piece was 250 psi, the test pressure should have been 500 psi and the burst pressure should have been 1000 psi. This piece of push lock hose burst at 1300 psi. It is not intended for high temperature, I never recommend you use it for a coolant hose. There are enough errors in this presentation from this man to lead you down the wrong path on many items. What I recommend is that you read a lot and understand what you’re doing or get someone at a hose company that knows what to do. The biggest problem we have with racers is that they think they know what they’re doing and they end up bringing half the stuff back because they ordered it wrong. If you are cutting PTFE hose, use filament tape at the area where you’re going to cut and cut through the filament tape. Leave the tape on the cut until you’re ready to assemble the fitting, one end of the braids will be tight against the PTFE and the other end it will flare out away from it. That is why you only saw him do one end of the hose. I don’t feel like going on for an hour or so I’m quitting now. He means well. Follow any guidelines you can find from Aeroquip. Basically everything is on KZbin.

[@lordleonusa]

It is VERY important to make certain that every single wire of the SS braid on the PTFE hose is OUTSIDE the Olive/Ferrell. Otherwise, you WILL get a leak! It's easier to get it right on the larger PTFE hoses, but also easy to get it wrong on the small size 3 hose.

[@eddieb4227]

Push lock is easier when using boiling water to heat the hose. A little soap on the fittings helps. Napa sells a heat shrink clamp that works really well with this system.

[@keysautorepair6038]

Nylon braided hose is the easiest and works great.

[@refugiogolf1]

Great informative video !! Thanks alot, found what i was searching for!!

[@RayLTX956]

If I had a nickel for every time in stabbed my finger into the wires of a steel braided hose I’d still be broke

[@greapsoho]

I learned a lot about the AN fittings. I was just watching Earls plumbing crimp video and they said make sure you dont use a cable cutter and always wrap it in teflon tape. Have you noticed any premature failures? Also, the teflon fitting you showed is threaded, but do they make a crimp fitting specifically for teflon?

[@mtebaldi1]

This additive reminds me of slick 50 of the 70s, which worked well. I'm expecting this to work quite a bit better given the technological improvements. Question? can it be used in diesel engines? That wasn't mentioned in the video.

[@LegendMuscle]

thanks i just got some 10 and 8 an braided lines for my diesel and was familiar with them but now know everything i wanna know! thanks

[@chrisv4640]

In plumbing we would call that olive/pearl a "ferrule" fair-ul

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

So i have a 95 toyota pickup, and I had to drop my tank to fix some wires after a rat chewed on them. I also decided to change my fuel tube that runs from the pump to the fuel line because it's nearly 30 years old and is severely corroded and just looks bad. I can't find it any cheaper than $90 so that lead me to the alternative of building it, and now im considering just changing the entire line all the way to the engine, I'm just not sure what my best option is yet. The line uses M14x1.5 fittings, and I can not find them locally anymore. What would you all suggest? TIA.

[@olenaerhardt7725]

I'm replacing the Charcoal (Vapor) canister on 2001 Saturn SL2, and I observed that the Vapor Canister Tube is kind of worn (I also slightly punched it with a hook during the removal on one end). I can't find that part (which is actually just a piece of house 5/8 ID bent in a smooth way under ~90 degrees and ~5-6 in in length). Can I replace it w/ a piece of 5/8 push on house (fm/Amazon). It looks exactly the same. The name of that hose is Fuel Line 5/8" ID NBR Hose 10 AN Push on Hose 0.9 OD for Small Engines, Fuel Systems, E85, E10, Coolants, Oil, Air, Methanol and Lubricant, 3 feet. Operating pressure 2 MPa (~290 psi). Or it is better to glue the original hose (tube, I think it is called Vapor Canister Tube) w/smth like gasket maker and keep it? The tube is attached to the Canister by sliding and applying a clip. Thank you for the film.

I have a Ford F250 Super Duty with a 5r110w transmission. The transmission has 1/2” od. transmission lines. Where can I get hose and fittings for this application?

[@slothmag]

When assembling the PTFE and AN fittings, you should probably rotate the nut, not the fitting, or the end barb will rotate inside the hose. In the end this friction will work against the torque of the nut/fitting and possibly damage the hose.

[@scod3908]

PTFE... friction... you're more likely to distort the braid by turning the nut? Most manufacturers appear to recommend clamping the nut and turning the male side when it comes to PTFE hoses

[@Seanahawkins]

I would love to hear the answer once and for all about push lock. Can you use a standard 5/8 heater hose and a push lock fitting? You mention nylon braided, but not all coolant hose has it. Thanks for the awesome video

What is the lifetime of the AN hose compared to teflon with gasoline? I’ve read that teflon hoses are considered lifetime hoses, but not sure about the AN material.

Anyway to attach AN fittings to aluminum tubing?

[@s.t.k.r.]

I have a question where I have used this before but not long enough to know how it's going to hold up so far. I've use a heat gun and the fittings will go on very easily whether the heat is going to affect it later I don't know but my main question is using a hose clamp on top of this should that help it or hurt it? Also already know what you're going to say but have you had any experience with eBay Hose & Fittings being that they are cheaper and I know you get what you pay for but when you are on a budget fittings and hoses are very expensive it can nickel and dime you to death what do you think about the eBay stuff

[@jcadlols]

Just in case you decide to test it: carbon fibre is in fact conductive. If there’s a heap of resin it isn’t but any fairly lightweight carbon parts will generally short with a car battery.

[@jswap1]

I was able to get a clean cut on AN6 braided hose using some bolt cutters I had lying around. (I also tried to get tree branch loppers to work, but they couldn't cut through.) The bolt cutters worked well, but probably wouldn't work on anything larger than AN6 (3/8").

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

I use the push-lock on PCV, catch cans. But I agree I use a zip tie or clamp to secure it. I would not use it in a fuel system...Ever again. It went as badly as you can imagine. Burned down to the ground after a complete build. I installed a larger supercharger on my wife's Mini. it needed fuel as you would think. I ordered a kit it was all push. I didn't know what I was doing. I took it to a local shop willing to do it. I picked it up, and it never made it home. Complete write-off hiking my insurance up. DON'T USE THEM!!! I didn't blame the shop. maybe I should have but I doubt they wanted to have a customer car catch fire on the way home. It changed the policy they have, they will no longer use parts they did not source.
