Default Braided SS push lock hoses?

Anyone use it? Does it even exist?

I ordered some off Ebay and it came with fittings and all. But the ID is .44 Compared to a true .50 like my push lock Parker non SS braided hose. I just don't see this is being actual push lock hose. Assuming Ebay seller is just a moron. No matter how strong I am, I don't think i'm getting these fitting in this hose! lol. I haven't tried yet since I asked the seller to confirm. Also the OD of this hose is MUCH less than the standard parker push lock. The and fitting ID are almost the same!

You’re right that will never fit! Monkey Fab has good prices on those & food quality too!

I got that type hose from Fregola, and the fittings. I didn't meas the ID, but can tell you installing the fittings was brutal, lol. I did like 2 of them and quit, having a torn rotator cuff didn't help, lol. I ended up ordering one of the tools ($$) to do it, man, what a life saver. It does #4-10.

Yea, even the Fragola says its .50 ID. Though Fragola says you have to replace them every 3-4 years! lol. This stuff is for the standard style fitting braided SS fittings.

For the push hose, I like to heat them good with a heat gun or boiling water. Then use a little DC4 grease. They push on pretty easy then. Never really had an issue when I have the correct ID stuff.

Just experimenting with china hoses. This hose would work fine with the correct fittings. like these.



I ordered some "AN10" PTFE nylon stuff as well. (just a foot) Though the "AN10" has an ID of 12.95mm. Which is 1/2". They haven't figured out how to advertise/market the hose correctly. If the PTFE stuff I ordered is legit it should work fine I'd think. Will be a great value at $4 a goot if it does anyway.

Just a word from someone who's been there, don't cheap out on hose and fittings, especially if its for fuel or oil. I went cheap on a little section of hose and two fittings I needed to wrap up my install from the pump to the filter. Well the car had terribly inconsistent fuel pressure, would choke out, go super lean, die. The cheap hose tore while installing the fittings and created a block off in the line. Tried a good name brand fitting I had and the same thing happen, the cheap fittings also stripped out and loosened up often.
