Default Quick Hose end question

I am going to re-doing my fuel system the right way now that I have added a turbo and bigger injectors.

My question regards the use of hose ends such as this
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku

I have never used fittings such as this, only barb fittings and lots of hose clamps. So how exactly do these fittings seal against 50+psi of fuel pressure?

Do you just insert the hose in the fitting and its done?

I will be using all braided stainless hose's also

sorry this is probibly a dumb question

thanks,

Matt

Call XRP. They have the best hoses in my opinion. You never get a snagged hand cut or burn yourself in the braided lines. You will love these when you see them. The ID is larger and flows more that a standard braided line.

Good luck with your hose.

First take the fitting apart .(it unscrews) put the hose in the outer part , then put anti seize on the threads and screw them together .If you are going to do a system order the aluminum jaws fron jegs or summit to hould them in a vice because it gets hard to turn befor it bottoms out .

the answer is that the hose is compressed between the inside and outside of the two fitting pieces when they are screwed together. they can hold much more than 50psi
