Page 22 of 38
4.6 Screw the 3/8”UNF end back into the hose collar
- Using 2 x 17 mm spanners, screw the hose end into the hose collar
- Screw clock-wise until the shoulders touch. There is no need to over tighten!
B TIP: Before screwing the hose end in, wet it with some soapy water. This makes the
fitting slide into the rubber hose easier and avoids damaging the bore of the hose.
4.7 Shortening the hose on the snap connector end
Shortening a standard MP hose at the snap connector end is done essentially the same as
described above:
- Instead of unscrewing the hose end from the hose collar, as described in paragraph 4.2,
you now unscrew the complete snap connector assembly from the hose collar.
- Use 2 x 17 mm spanner.
- Unscrew anti-clock-wise.
