When using Aeroquip push on (socketless) fittings



i've seen them used with no extra retention



and with retention



It just seems wrong to not have some form of clamp on the end of the hose once it has been pushed onto the fitting.

Which way is correct?

No jubilees, quote the name

There isn't a smooth enough area on the fitting for a jubilee to clamp too anyway !

ok for low pressure applications, but say for a fuel rail etc under high pressure, you might want a clamped hose.

No you dont need to clamp these.

The blue hose which is more than likely Aeroquip push on hose has the following spec

Temperature range -49°C to +150°C. 250psi(18bar) working 1000psi(70bar) burst pressure.

No clamps. If you've ever tried to get this stuff off fittings, you'll see just how well it grips. I wouldn't worry.

It is MORE likely to fail with jubilee clips on. As you tighten the jubilee clip it compresses the hose onto the barbs and cuts into it creating a weak point.

In summary - no jubilee clips

I personally find putting the hose into a cup of boiling water for about 5 minutes makes it a lot easier to get onto the fittings.

Hairspray works well too, Gary lets us use his.

Exactly what i was goin to say.....they grip like fuck once they're on and a right cunt to get off, usually end up slicing down the hose to remove.
Seen them used on loads of fuel system applications/pumps etc with no issues.

fair enough then! in future i wont comment without experiance of actually using the items lol

i just thought the push fittings were for low pressure applications, so cap in my ass -yo
