great information, I now know a lot more than I did 10 mins ago; thanks!

Thanxs for making this video. Good info and well instructions. Maybe I need a lot of hydraulic too, but price kept me of. Good to see good cheaper options.

Thank you for a well-organized and systematic analysis of options and instructions. Exactly what I was looking for as I am replacing 6 hoses and got sticker shock going back to the tractor dealer. The video could improve with the suggestions from other (blasting music at the beginning, better angle to see the actual pressing and die). Nevertheless, it answered all of questions I was struggling with. Well done.

The exact video I have been in search of. Thank you!

very nice, thx for sharing! (I was a US Navy Hydraulics Elevator Tech back in the day!)

I got a Bachelor's degree in hydraulics and pneumatics today, thanks to you and other presenters on KZfaq. Just curious, mostly, and curiosity as-swaged, if you will. Thanks a lot.

Great video man! Exactly what I was looking for.

I'm a Fluidline boy thanks for the content!!

Excellent information! Thank you!

I've been a mechanic for years. We called them air equip fittings. They work ok, not as good as crimps but work.

I love your jacket Marmot Mnt Works. I just bought a shirt yesterday. I have a Marmot Gortex waterproof down sleeping bag 1.9 lbs for backpacking that Iv'e used for 40 years. I'll be making my own hydraulic hoses from now on, thanks.

good video but per Parker specs and good year specs when installing a reusable end couple once outer portion is installed onto the hose you should then place outer body into vise to properly hold for installation of second part of coupler. this prevents twisting of the hose from body which can unseat hose and weaken connection and also avoid tearing or damaging outer skin of hose. never install a high pressure reusable end coupler in the above way.

Great video! Thank you for sharing the info! How does the manual Swage tool compare to a hydraulic one?

Pretty good. How about outdoor snow plow hoses? I have a Hiniker C plow. Thx

In the United States we have a hydraulic crimper I bought mine online for around $180 but I guess harbor freight has it for around $70 and with this crimpers you do not need no vice. And why am I saying all of this about the prices. Because you first tried to help me by showing me how to do it. Thank you and God bless you friend

Very good video and explanation of how to do Hyd hoses thanks very much, Any suggestions on the best prices for fittings?

I’ve been using ratchets and sockets a lot lately in places where I would have previously used a wrench. Usually it ends up being a lot easier, and I get a snugger connection where a wrench would have started striping out the flats. This is a place where I’d probably give a socket a try.

Hey hi your video from what I can make out due to bad sound was still good informative I’ve always wanted to learn how to install and make hydraulic lines being a semi truck owner it always comes in handy thanks

Brilliant! Thank you!

excellent explanation!

on the twist one what happened to the half clockwise turn on the first part once it bottoms out,like other guys do?

Great leaning. Thanks for sharing.

great video mate thanks

Thank you, how many PSI that hoses could work? The crimp machine can work for Pressure washer hoses?. TY

Great video! Can you tell me what size and type hydraulic hose you are using? I am trying to figure out if this method is right for me. I have an old tractor that needs pretty much all new hoses. Will this swager work for R2 hose? Did you get the dies and pusher from Sonny's too?

Been a hydraulic engineer for over 10 years now. I do not rate the re use fitting. They blow off so often. I don’t rate the one pice fitting aswell, especially if it’s Parker. They crack half the time crimp them. Manuli fitting are the best in my opinion

I have a 17" hose with 3/8" O ring face seal straight ends. ffx-04-06. O'Reillys wants $55, online store delivered is $38 [no tax] and the reusable fittings are $50+ the hose, so maybe $60. Hard to justify the reusable fittings, especially since no one ever seems to reuse them, unless the hose is long and large and the machine is down with the break near the end.

Thanks for the video. May I suggest swiveling the vice? That way you have a greater range of motion. As others said, use an impact tool to make the job easier. Lastly, if you make another video, please mount the swage crimp tool on the near side of the vise so we can see.

Great video!, thanks!!!!

não conhecia este metodo obrigado, sim me econimizou dinheiro tnks😃😃😃

Nice video...Thanks .....

Are those swage hydraulic fittings different from regular crimp type hydraulic fittings?

Where to buy the crimper and what’s the part number? Thanks!

Hi, Good Video! But before you completely finish, should you ensure the hose is clean on the inside? Like getting a piece of foam/rubber, putting it one end and then blowing it with the air compressor out the other end? That way it clears any swarf/turnings- or other debris left behind any other manufacturing processes?

Could you explain the basics of connecting hose and tube

G'day mate, what make swage machine is that please. Thanks for the video

Wish we could had a close up on both methods, we could not see how the dies worked, I never would most likely never need to do do this but i like to view how things are made, Thanks

Where did you get the machine and dies from??

What a coincidence. I just bought hose and reusable fittings from Discount Hydraulic Hose, arrived today. Everything looks good. Amazing customer service, fast shipping, good price. (16$ for a reusable fitting)

helped me to decide. Thx

Very nice broo

Where can I get one? You need a bigger vise.

Good job 👍

thanks i am 73 yrs. old , but u amuse me , thanks.

Hello sir where to buy those pressure hose fittings?

How do you do hydraulic tube? (not flexible)

Nice. need amazon link!

@ 5:12.. "..use very little, don't go crazy with this stuff..." Proceeds to go crazy with the anti-seize..

What can you recommend for power steering high pressure line repair...

Hey bud where do I get that machine ?

Good friend

In the olden days late 1980s early90s I used to make a lot of air lines almost daily using the re usable the fittings they were dot approved.. The supplier would come in once a week and restock . We never reused the fittings it was a liability thing also they were cheap maybe $2.35 each . But I'm about to do a big hydraulic build and will probably look into sweadge fittings . Buying premade is out of question like several thousand dollars. The shits is a million years ago I could of gotten a good deal on a parker sweadge my dad was a VP for them in the oilfields section.

What is the name of that corporate song?

Thanks

DON'T use never seize on reusable fittings. Some hydraulic pumps don't handle solid lubricants very well. One stray drop/glob can make for an expensive fix, or a diagnostic headache later. Just use bit of the working fluid to lubricate the end.

Do you think a hydraulic hose place would be able to replace a 1/4 inch NPT threaded fitting on my 1/4 inch pressure washer hose?

Actually @ 3:12 you said to drive the hose all the way in, it really shoould leave a small gap fir hose.expansion when its compressed into the fitting

you could save a lot of time and just use a hydraulic press :-) may i ask what is the standard size collar you are using for the pressing ?

Minor thing, Weatherhead is actually a division of Eaton, not Parker. Some important things worth mentioning, never mix and match brands of hose and hose ends. I've seen people do this time and again only to have the end blow off. Manufacturers design their crimp fittings to work on their specific hoses and some even make different fittings for one and two-wire hose. Mixing brands could have serious consequences and could lead to ends blowing off and potentially hurting someone. Also, when crimping a hose, you need to know the manufacturer's crimp specs/dimensions, otherwise, you have no idea if you installed the end correctly. Unless you like cleaning up oil spills and taking unnecessary risks, when uncertain, get it done by a professional!

when building a reusable hose, you should absolutely use a mandrel to prevent cutting the inside of the hose. Also using anything other than hydraulic fluid as a assembly lubricant will contaminate the fluid.

I can see having that re-usable fitting on a service truck dealing with Hydraulics as one of the systems and finding a hose leak, cutting it with a cutoff wheel and putting that fitting on until a manufactured hose can be obtained. If the equipment is down, that is a cheap fix to get going again.

When did Parker buy Weatherhead from Eaton? What makes it "the best hose on the market"?

it s applicable to all sizes.

I have never used grease on my fittings or die when crimping, what's the purpose for it?

What company do you reccomend? are those gates fittings?

I need to replace a few on my tractor soon.

Where can I buy these fittings and hoses to do this job?

Where do you get a good quality, hydraulic fitting for $4 or $5? What supplier?

Parker did not have this swage machine. Where can you buy one? Is this a Parker crimper or is it another brand?

would these work on power washing hose?

where can you order these fittings and hoses

You mentioned disclosing the time involved for each. I missed that part

Can you give us the model of the crimp machine you show here?

Unfortunately, default sound level is too low. Hard to follow.

If the reusable fitting isn't 2 piece and doesn't come apart how do you put it on the hose?

The things that can be made with a jack-screw is unending.

So it takes me years to get my kid to use an adjustable wrench correctly, with the movable jaw orientated to grip the nut on the tighten stroke, and now he shows me this - "Hey, the guy is flipping the wrench every which way!"

Great video

Where can I buy the machine?

Where can I buy that machine

I looked up the tool it's a 1000.oo double what you stated. That's without the dies of which you will need one for every size of fitting you use. In my experience a shop made hyd hose with crimped fittings costs about 1/2 to 2/3 what same hose costs if you buy reusable fittings. So if you have to replace it your saving money with reusable fittings and you can (with hose if you have it) fix it on the spot with no more than two wrenches and a knife. Edit: I've never had any problem with reusable fittings outdoors in fact I've reused them on snowplows old snowplows.

show how you cut the hose square

Most people lubricate the end to slide on easier.

Sample of BSP flange

never be scared of spending money on good eqipment

I had a hydraulic crimping machine myself. Recently the fitting keep popping off the pipe after install. I can assure that there is nothing wrong at the installation side. What can I avoid this problem while crimping the pipe?

You might want to warn your viewers about the reusable. One of the biggest mistakes is someone putting an R2 reusable shell on an 100r1 hose. They should make certain that the reusable is compatible to the hose. PS: Impossible to put an R1 shell to an R2 hose. Just saying. PSS: The shells on the reusable are always marked r1 or r2

to bad theres no option for antique hose, cuz "they dont make that anymore" huyuk huyuk, says the helpful hardware man.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Gest india ma job kre raha hoo ma

10:10 IMPACT!!!

Thanks I’m buying a sewage machine I’m tired of buying from auto parts store idiots , today made 3 trips to Napa because the idiot left hose to short, 2nd put wrong size fitting, 3 put wrong size fitting again

If you are making so many hoses you need to invest in a better crimping machine taking to long time is money .. never put the hose onto a dirty floor. You need correct training before crimping high pressure lines hydraulic oil is very dangerous.

Suggestions: 1. Read newspaper aloud every 10 seconds or so. It will help to make video longer and reduce percentage of useful info. Your home blah-blah is not going to achieve that. 2. Add a curtain. Your vice does not obscure the view good enough 3. Wave and jerk your hands more rapidly and energetically. You should never allow viewers to see your work piece

very informative but the camera man sucks. thanks

wtf is it with these dudes that can't get their hands dirty?? whats up with that.

I don’t know about any of you, but having a gas heater over the hydraulic unit could be a fire hazard. If a hydraulic hose sprung a leak and hosed down the heater that could be a problem.

swaaaaage. (long ā) Not swidge. :p
