what a bitch these things are.
my first -6 fitting, didn't get the end cut 100% square, just a little off. Does this need surgical precision or is close enought OK? Next blunder, got 1/16" of "push out" as I threaded the nipple in. Can this really be done with 0 push out? Can I use this fitting splice as it is described above or should I keep practicing? Any tips? BTW, I am using a 3" cutoff wheel to cut the hose, the hacksaw blade technique was impossible, frayed like crazy. thanks, dr also, now I see why I need to get some Aluminum AN wrenches, scratched up my new fittings already. |

Use the hacksaw, but to prevent fraying, wrap tape (I use electrical tape) around the hose and cut through the tape. The cut needs to be reasonably square, but you do have some latitude there.
