Good advice from sdonnel ... I spent over 20 years with Parker in the Mobile Hydraulics Group .... and another thing you need to be aware of is make sure the fitting is compatible with the hose used . In other words , don`t use a fitting designed for use with a two wire braid hose on a one wire braid hose or the other way around . I`ve seen hoses blow out of fittings in the field when the wrong combinations were used . Granted , we don`t see 2500 to 4500 psi on our engines , but it could still create a problem .
Any competent , certified hose assembly shop can keep you out of trouble .
