Apply lubricant to hose cover.
Visually check hose position
inside socket.
Socket positioned in vice.
Mark Insertion depth.

Contaminated hose may reduce the service life of
hydraulic systems. Always clean the hose bore after
cutting, using air and/or flush with a compatible fluid.
5.
A Field-Grip™ fitting consists of a socket and stem
assembly. |t is essential the fitting be mated with a
compatible hose style. Check fitting compatibility in
hose or fitting product tables. Place the socket in a vice.
The socket will fit over the hose cover. To determine the
insertion depth for the hose, first measure the distance
from the bottom of the socket to the end of the socket
where the hose is to be inserted. Transfer this insertion
depth to the hose cover by measuring from the end of
the hose. Mark a line on the hose cover at the distance
from the end of the hose that equals the insertion depth.
This becomes the visual check to determine if the hose
was fully inserted in the socket.
6.
Lightly lubricate hose cover with a mild soap solution.
Screw end of hose counterclockwise until hose reaches
the marked insertion depth and then back off 1/2 turn.
If the insertion mark was correctly applied to the hose,
you should now be able to determine if the socket has
been correctly applied to the hose by using the insertion
depth mark on the hose cover as a reference along with
a visual check inside the socket.
7.
Lightly lubricate the inside of the hose and stem threads
with a mild soap solution. Using a wrench, screw the
stem assembly into the socket until the stem hex shoul-
ders against the socket.
