Aeroquip push on hose fail!!

[Scullies]

So this happened.....


and the problem....





So much for "upgrading" from crappy hose and hose clamps to Aeroquip. Aeroquip rated for 250psi !!! In their dreams !!! My oil pressure is max 70psi.

Got industrial hose now with the hydraulic crimped on fittings.

Fractured from vibration? unsecured hose? only reason I can think of...

that hose not pushed to the cap fully?

 

[Scullies]

The hose was fitted to the cap, to me it looks like the hose slipped off the first barb and then broke on the area where the second barb was biting into the inner section hose.

I did some inspectigating on the hose today, I split the hose with a blade and found that the end section of the hose has delaminated about 2". The outer hose folded back with ease.
I assume this is a manufacture defect.

I suspect it was damaged on installation. Had the same on assembling socketless hoses here.. very easy to roll up and damage the inner they're that tight

hateful things, need warming to fit and then it's a suck it and see. I hate cars,lol

What's everyone's opinion of steel braided rubber hoses on barb fittings? Secured with jubilees?

 

[Sam_]

The steel braided stuff is harder to get onto the push fit ends. The problem with push fit in general is the hose should match the ends or it'll be an **** to install. It's either that or use proper braided hose and ends and swear a lot though.

Don't you have to use the threaded type AN fitting for the braided hose?

I know for the push on hose Aeroquip says NOT to use clamps.
