Page 18 of 38
- RBTOOL12 convoluted hose end holding tool.
This tool can be bought from AP Diving. However it is only needed for shortening
convoluted hoses with the old type of convoluted hose ends (pre 2009) that use locking
rings and split rings, as shown below. These can be easily changed for the new Ty-wrap
fittings RB12-02-A Hose Coupling Cover and RBCT1 Cable Ties that are also available
from AP Diving. See chapter 6 for details on this new type of fitting.
3.2 Standard Tools needed
Besides the special tools mentioned above, the following standard tools are needed:
- 17, 19 and 22 mm wrenches
- 5 mm Allen key
- O-ring picking tools
- (Access to) an ultrasonic bath for cleaning the metal parts.
WARNING: Do NOT use aggressive chemicals. They might damage the metal plating of
the hose ends. Use an ultrasonic cleaning bath with a suitable cleaning fluid. A very good
cleaning fluid is Biox “O2” immersion fluid. See WWW.BIOXINT.COM for further information
and distributors.
The use of rubber gloves while re-assembling the hoses is recommended to avoid rendering
them unclean due to human touch.
