Alright, I know this is probably very elementary, but alas, I do not know. Can anybody explain to me how to put hose ends on braided stainless steel lines? I'm trying but I frankly don't know wtf I'm doing.

 

[parchisi]

ok you disconnect the fitting blue from the red.. the braided hose end should be taped....this is very important because if the end needs to be taped tightly so no frayed ends wont catch on blue piece... slide hose into red end thru to the other side and push taped braided hose as far into blue fitting and screw tight this is what locks the braided hose in place and if any frayed ends get in the way it wont work right.....hope this helps.....the tape is the key....repost results..

if you removed the tape from the braided line ends electrical tape will work...goodluck.

Thanks bill. The hose won't go all the way through the red piece. The front of the red piece, the opening is larger and there are very course threads, then towards the rear of it it narrows and there are the threads that screw onto the blue piece. So I guess I don't see how I can push the hose all the way through the red piece. I wish I could post some pictures, but I don't know how.

Oh yeah, and I did actually try it too.

if it won't go thru push the line into the red piece as far as it will go and then tighten the blue piece it will catch and secure the line in place if you still have problems talk to summitt at 1800 230 3030 they will explain it....

Ok, thanks for the help. If push comes to shove and I'm a real idiot, I'll just take it to autozone and have them show me.
