Hey, the link gives me an error message. Are these still for sale?

[@EluderRacing]

good video but per Parker specs and good year specs when installing a reusable end couple once outer portion is installed onto the hose you should then place outer body into vise to properly hold for installation of second part of coupler. this prevents twisting of the hose from body which can unseat hose and weaken connection and also avoid tearing or damaging outer skin of hose. never install a high pressure reusable end coupler in the above way.

I love your jacket Marmot Mnt Works. I just bought a shirt yesterday. I have a Marmot Gortex waterproof down sleeping bag 1.9 lbs for backpacking that Iv'e used for 40 years. I'll be making my own hydraulic hoses from now on, thanks.

In the United States we have a hydraulic crimper I bought mine online for around $180 but I guess harbor freight has it for around $70 and with this crimpers you do not need no vice. And why am I saying all of this about the prices. Because you first tried to help me by showing me how to do it. Thank you and God bless you friend

Actually @ 3:12 you said to drive the hose all the way in, it really shoould leave a small gap fir hose.expansion when its compressed into the fitting

[@arthurfrilingos1860]

Hi, Good Video! But before you completely finish, should you ensure the hose is clean on the inside? Like getting a piece of foam/rubber, putting it one end and then blowing it with the air compressor out the other end? That way it clears any swarf/turnings- or other debris left behind any other manufacturing processes?

[@xmachine7003]

That would work. Good idea.

[@TheMatrixgod]

on the twist one what happened to the half clockwise turn on the first part once it bottoms out,like other guys do?

[@carlw180]

Great video! Can you tell me what size and type hydraulic hose you are using? I am trying to figure out if this method is right for me. I have an old tractor that needs pretty much all new hoses. Will this swager work for R2 hose? Did you get the dies and pusher from Sonny's too?

[@michaelmolter8828]

I’ve been using ratchets and sockets a lot lately in places where I would have previously used a wrench. Usually it ends up being a lot easier, and I get a snugger connection where a wrench would have started striping out the flats. This is a place where I’d probably give a socket a try.

[@MasteringHow-To]

Not here. The problem is you want constant pressure on the fitting. So when the ratchet reaches it’s limit where you back off to re ratchet. You lose the tension on the fitting. With the wrench, you’ll notice I never let go. I am keeping constant pressure. The metal is warm and being formed… you want it this way so you should not use a ratchet and socket. Even though it’s much easier on you and your arms! Haha. Trust me

[@marioprzepiora]

Thanks for the video. May I suggest swiveling the vice? That way you have a greater range of motion. As others said, use an impact tool to make the job easier. Lastly, if you make another video, please mount the swage crimp tool on the near side of the vise so we can see.

What a coincidence. I just bought hose and reusable fittings from Discount Hydraulic Hose, arrived today. Everything looks good. Amazing customer service, fast shipping, good price. (16$ for a reusable fitting)

[@MasteringHow-To]

Haha nice. I get hose from there too. I miss older days. I been doing this for 11 years. Fittings have doubled in price. And hose too! Quality is way down also. So you’re paying double. And the quality is half as good. But at least you’re saving a lot of money by doing it yourself. A standard 1/2in hose with swivel fittings 6 foot. Cost about $40 bucks if not more from my local hose store. It’s crazy. So right now I can make that size hose for about $10.

[@patdexter9188]

I've been a mechanic for years. We called them air equip fittings. They work ok, not as good as crimps but work.

[@graham2631]

I looked up the tool it's a 1000.oo double what you stated. That's without the dies of which you will need one for every size of fitting you use. In my experience a shop made hyd hose with crimped fittings costs about 1/2 to 2/3 what same hose costs if you buy reusable fittings. So if you have to replace it your saving money with reusable fittings and you can (with hose if you have it) fix it on the spot with no more than two wrenches and a knife. Edit: I've never had any problem with reusable fittings outdoors in fact I've reused them on snowplows old snowplows.

[@MasteringHow-To]

At the time of the video. That was the price. Try looking on eBay. They often pop up for much less.

[@117BMF]

Dang, I want a knife that can cut hydraulic hose! I have to use a chop saw. 😉

[@RRaucina]

I have a 17" hose with 3/8" O ring face seal straight ends. ffx-04-06. O'Reillys wants $55, online store delivered is $38 [no tax] and the reusable fittings are $50+ the hose, so maybe $60. Hard to justify the reusable fittings, especially since no one ever seems to reuse them, unless the hose is long and large and the machine is down with the break near the end.

[@bigmiked52]

Hey bud where do I get that machine ?

[@davep2848]

Minor thing, Weatherhead is actually a division of Eaton, not Parker. Some important things worth mentioning, never mix and match brands of hose and hose ends. I've seen people do this time and again only to have the end blow off. Manufacturers design their crimp fittings to work on their specific hoses and some even make different fittings for one and two-wire hose. Mixing brands could have serious consequences and could lead to ends blowing off and potentially hurting someone. Also, when crimping a hose, you need to know the manufacturer's crimp specs/dimensions, otherwise, you have no idea if you installed the end correctly. Unless you like cleaning up oil spills and taking unnecessary risks, when uncertain, get it done by a professional!

[@jackbacic868]

[@sylentxtinction2097]

DON'T use never seize on reusable fittings. Some hydraulic pumps don't handle solid lubricants very well. One stray drop/glob can make for an expensive fix, or a diagnostic headache later. Just use bit of the working fluid to lubricate the end.

[@deankay4434]

A an ASE Master Tech since 1978, I would agree. But perhaps not shown or explained in the video as well as it could be, on a fitting that carries a different juice inside, no one uses “Anti-Sieze” on the open end, tip or orifice, only starting two or three threads up. Those who do it all over the fitting and/or inside only don it once. This is long enough to see the fluid contaminate your system, degrade your fluid, cause mechanical failures at the pumping device or simply watch it pop off. Either way, good point. You only screw some up bad in life once normally, then your wallet weighs less, unemployed, pay alimony or your dead.

[@lpi6608]

you could save a lot of time and just use a hydraulic press :-) may i ask what is the standard size collar you are using for the pressing ?

[@Hydraulic67]

If he invested a couple thousand dollars more maybe, but these particular fittings are actually designed to be swaged. They can be crimped but are actual swage fittings. He mentioned several times about the excess cost of having a swage machine over the cost of reusable fittings, I think he got it right for his application. He got the job done at minimal cost and has a field repairable hose (at least one end) Swaging and crimping are two different processes, and most crimp machines can't be taken into the field without an external power source. Being able to swage or using reusable fittings are both slower, you're right there, but with a couple wrenches he's got a machine running right where it sets.

[@rowneyt]

@@Hydraulic67: would a reusable fitting work with a 30HP John Deere tractor hose. I have to replace the hose on site (ie in my garage) because one end has to be fed through a couple of tight brackets on my 4-1 bucket, with that end of the hose without the fitting pre- installed. My plan is feed the No-fitting end through the brackets then attach a reusable fitting.

[@walkingthruyourdata-6019]

I can see having that re-usable fitting on a service truck dealing with Hydraulics as one of the systems and finding a hose leak, cutting it with a cutoff wheel and putting that fitting on until a manufactured hose can be obtained. If the equipment is down, that is a cheap fix to get going again.

[@timerickson7056]

In the olden days late 1980s early90s I used to make a lot of air lines almost daily using the re usable the fittings they were dot approved.. The supplier would come in once a week and restock . We never reused the fittings it was a liability thing also they were cheap maybe $2.35 each . But I'm about to do a big hydraulic build and will probably look into sweadge fittings . Buying premade is out of question like several thousand dollars. The shits is a million years ago I could of gotten a good deal on a parker sweadge my dad was a VP for them in the oilfields section.

[@PARKERBROTHERSPLUMBING]

would these work on power washing hose?

[@MasteringHow-To]

Of course!! My power washer hose is 3/8 so I only have two hoses in the place. In order for you to do this you would need a 3/8 dye and 3/8 pusher. So for me it made more sense to use reusable fittings since whenever the power washer breaks. It always breaks right at the end by the handle. Since it usually have a nice bend. So I’ll cut it. Undo the fitting and redo it. Faster than using the swage machine

[@MasteringHow-To]

If you have a lot of the same size hose. Yes... makes sense to get another pusher and dye. But they are expensive. Around $100 for the set.

[@ronaldadams4967]

There is a chart that gives the finished crimp diameter for the different size fittings. Use a micrometer or dial caliper to check that the finished crimp went small enough. Also I have been told it is better to keep the hose and fitting with the same manufacturer. For example for Parker hose use Parker fittings. HTH

[@BOBCAT2001ify]

Ronald Adams 110% spot on. My family owns a Hydraulic and Industrial Hose shop, as we’re a Gates Distributor. On each of our crimpers we have charts and books with the specs and what the OD of the crimp should be along with s micrometer. We set up all of our customers with crimpers with the same chart. And using the same manufacturer is very important. Gates with Gates, Parker with Parker. Completely different specs among the different brands.

[@timanderson9466]

You might want to warn your viewers about the reusable. One of the biggest mistakes is someone putting an R2 reusable shell on an 100r1 hose. They should make certain that the reusable is compatible to the hose. PS: Impossible to put an R1 shell to an R2 hose. Just saying. PSS: The shells on the reusable are always marked r1 or r2

[@Hydraulic67]

You're absolutely right, they must be on the right hose. However, I did see what I thought was impossible, a 100R1 reusable on a 100R2 hose. I won't go into details, but lets say these particular people were a few bricks short of a load. They put warnings to not install fan belts while the engine is running due to people like them. They skived the 100R2 hose. Really, I'm not kidding. They managed to put it on, then blew it apart and got mad at whom ever sold them the fittings. I did them (and us) a favor and gave them some credit towards a new hose for all their reusable fittings. Some people just shouldn't try DIY way, it doesn't become them.

I own a hydraulic shop and have been making hoses for over 35 years now, the last thing we want to here is "you S*B, you screwed up" at 3:00am (or any time of the day as far as that goes) so we have our customers, along with us verify the length(s) before we start, this has almost eliminated the "I said......" in the conversations. It also gets the customer involved and it also proves 2 sets of eyes is better than 1. I don't get offended when a customer corrects my measuring a hose or the fitting size I pull, it saves a mistake and a very mad customer. Just food for thought.
