Steps in Hose Assembly
It is sometimes difficult to insert a fitting into hydraulic
hose. If necessary, it is recommended using a liquid soap
or a water/soap solution as a lubricant. Use the lubricant
sparingly. When installing elbow fittings, point elbow
towards curvature of the hose, unless specified otherwise.
When installing elbow fittings on both ends, see the
previous section on “Measuring the Offset Angle.” If the
insertion mark was correctly applied, you should now be
able to determine if the coupling has been completely
inserted. The depth mark will be aligned with the end of
the ferrule. In the case of a skived assembly, check that no
skive shows and that couplings are on straight.
