[QUOTE="dirtygoat, post: 1447135, member: 17531"] [b]Hoses...[/b] There's two ways to go about this... Field fittings or crimp fittings... I prefer the field fittings, these are rebuild able and can be repaired on the trail... [B]Field Fittings...[/B] "Hydraulic field attachable fittings consist of two pieces: the insert and the socket, or collar. The insert has machined threads along the outer diameter, which engage the socket during assembly. The socket has deep-tapped inner threads, which allow the hose cover to expand so that sharp lead threads can cut a spiral path into the hose jacket. Following the lead threads are spaced blunt threads that fill with the outer rubber cover of the hose during assembly." [B]Crimp On Fittings...[/B] The crimp on fittings are one piece and need a special crimping tool or you can have them made at a number of places... The PSC kit I installed came with field fittings... I like the idea of carrying a length of hose and extra fittings just in case... The guys I wheel with are following suit so we all have the same parts and are familiar with each others set up... I used a hydraulic braided hose for the R,L and P ports on the valve and a typical return line hose for the T port back to the pump... The ports on the valve and ram are a pipe thread... I went to Williams Oil Filter and brought my valve and ram with me... They found the adapters with pipe thread on one end and machined thread that matched the fittings on the other end... I used a pipe thread to push on barbed type for the return hose... There's also an adapter that does on the pressure out on the pump to change it to the hydraulic hose thread... (I'll get some sizes and part numbers, I don't remember them off the top of my head) Here's a field fitting... -6 fitting and 3/8" braided hose... You screw the middle piece(collar) on to the hose, then screw the top piece(insert) into the collar... I put the hose in a vice and screw on the collar which has reverse threads, then move the collar into the vice and screw on the insert(normal threads)...
