Air Hose Repair - With a reusable air hose fitting, do not use the old clamp for a long term repair. Link for Dixon BN32RU62 Brass Reusable Fitting, Adapter, 1/4" NPTF Male x 3/8" Hose ID, 5/8" Hose OD amzn.to/2yCiHV5
Where would we be without RU-vid creators like you that solve every day problems! I was going to buy a barbed one until I saw this. Thanks for the Amazon link, too!
The first clamp you used is called a worm gear clamp. They also have these clamps that have a sleeve around it so that it doesn't mess up your hoses. There are also T-bolt clamps that you can use. Both couplers are viable long term solutions, with the first type working best with sleeved clamps or T-bolt clamps.
Hey Ricky that’s awesome! I never knew those existed, it looks like you could make some professional looking custom hoses! Thanks for posting the video, I definitely learned something new today!
@@RickyisHere For a couple days I need to use the old connection piece with the ribs, but when those threaded fittings come in, cannot wait to put them on.
Thanks. I have a very similar setup, and the end of the hose on my reel became cracked and failed. Now I think I can just cut off a foot or two of the end, put on a new fitting, and be good to go again.
I stuck with problem.. Got pressure pot with AIR-MIC20M 1/4" coupler, but my air hose have german profile 3/8" coupling (maybe EC20H) And air leak is insane.. I don't know what to do.. How I should fix issue.. Buy new hose from America and pray it fits with compressor coupler.. Somehow install American coupler in to compressor.. Get new air regulator and pray it fits pressure pot.. Or maybe try your method.., but question if I can use any coupler at 03:00
Nice video Ricky. That was a good find on the reusable hose repair fitting. Maybe you can go edit in the link to where you found yours, or pin it to the top. Great content so far, keep up the good work!
Thank you +Rob's Wrenches, I didnt post the link on the video because people could say that I am advertising the item when its not the case. Here it is: Dixon BN32RU62 Brass Reusable Fitting, Adapter, 1/4" NPTF Male x 3/8" Hose ID, 5/8" Hose OD www.amazon.com/dp/B00835MUO8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QAdRzbQA57QPE This is the one I purchased but there are many other brands and retailers. Thank you for watching!
Thanks Ricky, I think that anyone who would believe that would be misguided. We are all here to share and collect information that saves us time and money, etc. Thank you for the info.
FYI -You are using way to much teflon tape it should be the 2 x 2 rule; leave the first two threads bare and 1 1/2 to 2 wraps in the direction you are tighting the fitting. The teflon is designed as a lubrcant not a sealant..
Thanks for the input, I always eyeball it but I wasn’t aware of the 2 X 2 rule. You learn something every day. So far no problems to report on the hose. Thanks once again for posting your comment 👍🏼
I am using less Teflon tape lately and usually use blue Loctite instead. It's easier and looks better. Quite often 1/4 inch NPT air fittings will seal without anything at all. On the other hand, I have had poorly machined NPT fittings that would only seal with a ridiculous amount of Teflon tape.
Regardless how big or small, worm gear clamps should not have hose protruding in the clamp. The barbs are to hold it on. The clamp is just a bit of pressure on barbs
My only concern is that the fitting that goes over the hose would leak some. Does it? And could a person use teflon tape around the hose end to help prevent it?
Those reuseable fittings look like a great thing to have in the field or in a shop, but might be a little pricey for home use. Check if your local auto parts store carries air hose ferrules and if they do the crimping. The ferrules are about a dollar and they'll usually crimp it on for you for free if you buy the ferrule. You can use the original barb that came on the hose so it'll only cost you a buck and a trip to the store.
Thanks for the comment, I prefer to pay a little extra for the peace of mind (better be safe than sorry) but everybody is on a budget. Thanks for watching! I will post a follow up video about the compressor so stick around. Thanks for the subscription!
Costs aside, hose barb ends with a properly crimped ferrule are safer and more secure. They're an industry standard in liquid, gas, and hydraulic applications and they can handle high pressures. It's the reason hoses come from the factory that way (again, regardless of cost). Those reusable fittings explicitly state "Recommended for low pressure air hose applications", which is absolutely fine for emergency field or personal/home use (up to 250 psi), but you're not paying extra for anything more than convenience. You're welcome. At first I wasn't sure if it was a spam channel copying other people's content because of your older videos, but now that I know it's real, I'll keep an eye out for the compressor vid.
Hi Rolois I found this video because I was trying to get some idea how to repair a bike pump hose my thoughts are why not see if I can take standard air hose repair methods and apply to a bike pump hose I guess theoertically it should work ?
I have a problem. I bought an air compressor on ebay. There is a broken-off connector inside the coupler on the compressor. When I try to remove the bad connector to install another one, the coupler won't screw off with even a long-handled wrench. How to get the coupler off without ruining the pipe to the compressor?
It worked for the most part, but now there's a very small leak coming from between my gun and the adapter. What would you recommend to seal that small gap?
I ordered this kit on Amazon and installed the first coupler. As I was screwing in the 2nd coupler, the outer part of the hose separated from the inner hose and it was like a clean cut at the bottom of the first coupler. What now? My hose it probably around 15 years old and seems a little brittle. Maybe I just need to replace my entire hose reel?
after reading some of this, I'm not going to waste my time with these DIY hackjob solutions I got an estimate for a spring hand lever crimper about CDN$1100 plus about CDN$300 for every die set...... but it's something I will be using, as I have a lot of hoses to fix/repair $2000 buy once cry once
I am horrifically poor I dont have cash for fancy replacements should I In theory be able to use the standard air hose valve barb and clamp on a bike pump hose ?
@@CoyoteCarChannel You are talking about 3:00 right? He wrapped in the same direction of tightening the fitting... so it wont unwrap when installing...
