This video shows how to properly install your new AN hose fittings onto your PTFE lined hose from Hot Rod fuel hose. Visit us at www.hotrodfuel... for all of your AN hose needs.
I didn't have a vise but I do have a 10 ton press for making hash rosin with. Easy to follow instructions. and a great kit so far. Feel like if I get a leak, it's probably cause I screwed something up lol.
It would be good if you included video of the tightening process so we could get an idea of how hard it should be to get down to the 1mm gap. I hope I did it right!
Noticed you say leave a 1mm gap - what is the purpose of this and is it applicable to other brands? What if I do not leave the 1mm gap?? Happy with my stuff I got from you btw :)
Some brands recommend it some don't and many don't give any instructions at all. At 1mm the ferrule is typically full seated and going any further just puts a risk of rounding out the nut due to the force needed to "keep going"
The smaller size (an6) will be tight to get the nut over the nylon braid. As you move up in size it gets easier. If you are finding the nut extremely tough to thread on the fitting you likely have a strand of stainless or nylon that has gone wild and is between the threads. Make sure to trim any frayed out stainless or nylon so it doesn't get stuck in the threads.
