Step 1:

Cutting Fragola Performance Systems High Pressure Power Steering Hose is easy. Simply mark the hose at the desired length with a marker (no need to tape around this hose, it won't fray). A 32 teeth per inch hack saw works great for making the cut. If that is not available a Beverly Shear, radiac or chop saw will suffice.

Step 2:

Install the socket over the cut end of the hose. Some twisting may be required to get the socket to the desired position with the hose seated against the bottom of the socket.

Step 3:

Using FPS Aluminum Vice Jaws will help protect your hose ends from scratching during the next steps. If there is a concern about scratching, the hose end may be wrapped with tape for protection. Clamp the hose and socket in the vise. It is very important you lubricate the threads with assembly lube. With a suitable wrench, screw the long tapered part of the fitting into the socket until it seats on the fitting shoulder.

Step 4:

Clean the inside of the hose assembly with clean solvent. Blow out residue with compressed air. It is strongly recommended that you test the hose assembly for leakage before putting it into service. The easiest way to go about this is by utilizing Fragola Line Testers and submerging the hose assembly in a bucket of water. If you don't see air bubbles when the line is pressurize then it is okay to put in service. Just be sure to lubricate the "B-nut threads" before installing on an adapter.
