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.
