Vector1. Check with the manufacturer of these fittings to see if they can be reused. Most crimp fittings see deformation of the nipple (portion inside the hose) when the socket is crimped on, so reusing the nipple may leave you with a leaky hose end for no apparent reason. I worked for Aeroquip for 5 years as a trainer, and this was one misconseption users had about crimp on fittings. Good Luck.
