is there a easy way to get the braided pipe into the fitting without the metal fraying

 

get someone who does it for a living to make up the hoses for you with the fittings on them.

it shouldn't be too expensive.

 

fookin coont of a thing!! Makes a nice mess of your hands too!

Only ever done it once but found it was all in the cutting, put masking tape over where you are gonna cut(cut through the tape it so doesnt fray as much), twist it into the fitting

HTH

 

or as slim says!

 

The trick is to make sure you tape before you cut the hose, and then trim off any small bits that stick out at all.

Once you're done that, you should have no problem.

 

|Cut as above then wind it in backwards from the weave.

 

i tried that i will have another go tommorow,thanks

 

WRAP TIGHT IN MASKING TAPE

GRIP IN VICE... AND CUT WITH A DECENT HACKSAW

NO FRAYAGE

 

wrap in tape ( dont have to be masking, ive used insulation tape ) and stick in vice as dave said then cut with ya angle grinder, theres not a job that cant be done with a grinder

 

wrap in masking tape,use tin snips for a quick clean cut,then prick your fingers on the stuff lol

 

tin snips for frayed bits, a fine junior hacksaw and masking tape.

you will still get injured though somehow

 

THE BEST WAY IS A LARGE COLD CHISEL AND A HAMMER , SOUNDS CRUDE BUT ITS THE BEST WAY , TRY IT YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED
