Proper hose installation is essential for satisfactory performance. Once you select the proper hose and couplings, you can then make the assembly. There are two types of assemblies you can make: permanent crimped or field attachable. Components, equipment and procedures vary for all types. However, measuring, cutting procedures and fitting orientation are the same. When cutting any hose, keep the cut as straight as possible and square with the side of the hose.
