This fitting guide is suitable for our
Aluminium Oil and Fuel Fittings in conjunction with our
Nitrile Braided Steel Hose
For a professional assembly we recommend using
Soft Jaws in the vice to protect the hose ends and AN/JIC Sized -
Spanners which give an ideal aluminium-on-aluminium fit helping to preserve the anodising and life of the fittings.

| Bind masking tape tightly around the hose at the required length and cut through using a fine tooth saw blade or cut off wheel, leaving tape on both ends so that it retains the braid. |

| Screw the PTFE liner hose clockwise onto the G-Line main body (blue) until its is two full turns from shoulder of the main body (see fig. 3) |
Hold the fitting securely in a vice and push the socket (gold) forward up to the threaded part of the fitting. Lubricate the thread and holding the hose firmly, start to thread the socket (gold) onto the fitting. Please Note: Make sure when threading that the hose is not turning with the socket. |
Tighten the socket (gold) using a good quality spanner until it is 3 to 4 full turns from the end of the thread, then releasing the hose tighten a further 2 full turns allowing the hose to rotate with the socket (gold). PRESSURE TEST Please Note: Under no circumstances should the socket be loosened in an attempt to adjust the alignment after assembly. |
