FAQs

What type of hose is compatible with this fitting?

This fitting is specifically designed for socketless hose. It is not compatible with traditional barbed hose that requires clamps.

Do I need any special tools to install this fitting?

No, installation is tool-free. The hose simply pushes onto the barbed end, and the swivel screw end can be tightened with a wrench.

What are the common applications for this fitting?

It is ideal for plumbing oil coolers, remote filter heads, catch tanks, and other auxiliary fluid systems in automotive applications.

How does the 360° swivel help?

The swivel allows for easy adjustment of the hose's position after the fitting is secured, preventing twists and ensuring a clean, direct routing.

Is this fitting suitable for high-pressure fuel lines?

This fitting is generally suited for automotive fluid systems like oil and coolant. For high-pressure fuel applications, consult specific product ratings and consider fittings designed explicitly for those conditions.

What materials is the fitting made from?

The fitting is constructed from plated steel for durability and corrosion resistance.

Troubleshooting

Hose leaks at the barbed connection.

Ensure the hose is fully seated onto the barbs. Check that the hose is the correct type (socketless) and diameter for the fitting. Inspect the hose end for damage.

Difficulty pushing hose onto fitting.

Ensure the hose is socketless type and the correct size. Slightly warming the end of the hose in warm water can sometimes make it more pliable. Avoid using excessive force that could damage the hose or fitting.

Thread does not match port.

Verify the thread type (BSP or JIC) and size of both the fitting and the port. You may need an adapter if the thread types are incompatible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy and fast installation without special tools.
  • Provides a secure and leak-proof connection.
  • Durable plated steel construction for longevity.
  • Flexible hose alignment due to swivel ends.
  • Cost-effective solution for custom plumbing.

Cons

  • Only compatible with socketless hose types.
  • Not suitable for high-pressure applications beyond typical automotive fluid systems.
  • Steel construction may be susceptible to corrosion in extremely harsh environments without proper care.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the socketless hose is clean and free of debris.
  2. Firmly push the end of the socketless hose onto the barbed portion of the fitting until it is fully seated.
  3. Screw the threaded end of the fitting into the desired port using the appropriate wrench. Utilize the 360° swivel to achieve proper hose alignment without twisting.

Compatibility:

  • This fitting is designed exclusively for use with socketless hose. It is not compatible with barbed hose fittings requiring clamps or crimps.
  • The threaded end is available in various BSP and JIC sizes. Verify your existing port threads match the fitting's specifications.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the fitting for any signs of damage or corrosion. Clean with a mild soap and water solution if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the plating.
