Jellybean Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 A quick one , PTFE hose I presume you can only use an Olive type compression fitting as opposed to a Barbed/cutter design fitting ? Barbed/cutter design fitting i.e. Earls can only be used with a Rubber hose ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELLBOY666 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 If u on about the hose with metal braid on outside and a rubber or plastic type tube inside then you can either use compression style or have a ferrule which slides over hose and you can swage it down onto hose with fitting inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELLBOY666 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Yeah that's the a/n olive type but you can also have a permanent swaged hose so a machine crushes the ferrule around fitting and hose making it one solid fitting that will not come off unless someone makes hose wrong same as braided brake lines but with different types of ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELLBOY666 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Yep same thing just different hose and ferrules that's what I do for a living and the hydraulic fittings are close to 10 times cheaper than those American A/N fittings only difference is colour but you could spray them lol and ever so slightly heavier but with those few fittings it's not gonna make a difference on a road car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
