Measuring Bulk Hose
Measuring Fast-Stor
®
hose is quick and easy and may
be accomplished by either of two accurate methods:
1. Counting
2. Division into Even Numbers of Lengths
Bulk retracted lengths of Fast-Stor
®
hose are always exactly 100 feet long when shipped from factory. Some diameter expansion of
the coils may have occurred in shipment due to temperature and storage conditions. This may appear to have shortened a given 100’
retracted length slightly in relation to other 100’ retracted lengths in the same master carton. The shorter appearance should not be
mistaken for any actual shortage in extended length. A bulk retracted length may be easily divided into smaller lengths by first measuring
the tightly retracted length in inches, and dividing by 4 to determine the cut off length for 25 feet, by 3 for 33 feet, by 8 for 12-1/2 feet, etc.
Pieces should be tagged with their proper length before returning to storage.
Position bulk length coils on work table extending away
from you, cut-end up in 12:00 o’clock position.
How to Assemble Fast-Stor Hose
1. Using a Parker Model 316 cutoff tool, Parflex PHC hand cutter
or other sharp cutter, cut hose squarely to correct length.
2. Install SG spring guard on hose as shown. A guard is not
required on size -12 hose.
3. Slide FN nut on hose and insert TS tube support.
4. Slide FR plastic ferrule over hose with taper side toward cut
end of hose. Size -12 hose uses a brass ferrule and requires
the hose end to be dipped in clean water for lubrication.
5. Push hose into fitting body until bottomed. Slide nut and fer-
rule up to fitting body and tighten nut by hand. With a wrench,
tighten the nut additional 2 to 2-1/2 turns.
6. Slide spring guard over nut until the lead coil snaps between
the nut and fitting body hex.
