Assemble hose –
Push hose
into fitting all the way to depth
insertion mark. (If fitting does not
readily slide onto hose, perform
the next step.)
Insertion Depth –
Shown is a
56 series fitting. Using Parflex
Depth Insertion Block (part#
TH9-1-56), mark the hose with
the proper insertion depth line.
On some fittings such as 55
Series, this depth is represented
by a dashed or knurled line on
the crimp shell.
Hose –
Visually inspect both
ends of hose for square cut.
Remove any burrs, loose fibers
or wires.
Fittings –
Verify fitting series
corresponds to the selected
hose. Visually inspect fitting(s)
for a through-hole, threads and
damage.
Lubrication (as required) –
Using an SAE 20 weight lubri-
cating oil, lightly lubricate inside
of hose end.

Warning
Do not use lubricating oil when
installing fittings on hose used in
oxygen service. When installing
fittings on hose used in oxygen
service lubricate with a non-oil
based soap solution. Failure to
do so may result in an explosion
and personal injury when hose
is used.
Assembly
Using Parker VBS or VBL (vise
blocks) and a rubber mallet, tap
fitting onto hose until bottom of
fitting shell is aligned with depth
insertion mark.
