Reusable Hose Ends and How They Work
How do Reusable Hose Ends Work?
Reusable hose ends are different from regular hydraulic fittings in that they are not permanently attached to the hydraulic hose. Reusable (or Field Attachable) fittings do not require crimping to attach to hydraulic hose. A collar is placed over the hose end, and then a stem is threaded into the collar, creating a seal. The fittings can be tightened by hand or with hand tools. When you'd like to replace the hose or move the fitting to another hydraulic assembly, simply unscrew the collar from the stem.
