Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure you are using the correct size of 100R6 socketless hose that matches the bore size of the fitting (1/2 inch in this case). Push the hose firmly onto the fitting until it reaches the internal barbs. You should feel or hear a slight 'click' or resistance as the hose fully seats. The swivel thread end can then be screwed into your component (e.g., oil filter housing, catch tank) and tightened to the appropriate torque specification for the thread type (BSP or JIC).
Compatibility: This fitting is specifically designed for use with 100R6 socketless hose. It is not compatible with braided hose or other hose types that do not have a smooth, push-on internal diameter suitable for barb engagement. The screw threads are available in BSP and JIC standards; verify your component's thread type before purchase.
Care: Clean the fitting with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plating. Periodically inspect the connection for any signs of wear or degradation, especially if exposed to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures.
