When determining hose routing never
make sharp turns that can put stress
on the hose and could cause kinks.
Make sure all hose lengths have at
least a little slack and that the hose is
not twisted. This will ensure there is
no stress on the hose which will
extend the life of the hose.

1. Mark the desired length of hose by
wrapping the hose with provided tape. Using a
fine-tooth hack saw, cut-off wheel, or cable
cutters, cut through the tape and hose. NOTE: A
clean perpendicular cut is important to ensuring
proper installation.
2. Hold or clamp the socket side of fitting into
a soft jaw vise. Insert hose into socket and push
while turning clockwise until hose is snug against
the socket's threads. TIP: mark hose at the
socket with tape or marker to easily see if hose
backs out when threading fittings together.
3. Clamp nipple side of fitting into soft jaw
vise. Apply lube to nipple. Thread socket onto
nipple threads by hand as far as possible. Then
using a wrench, thread socket onto the nipple
end until the socket base is within 1/16th inch or
less of a gap between socket base and the nipple
hex.
