The first clamp you used is called a worm gear clamp. They also have these clamps that have a sleeve around it so that it doesn't mess up your hoses. There are also T-bolt clamps that you can use. Both couplers are viable long term solutions, with the first type working best with sleeved clamps or T-bolt clamps.
Hey Ricky that’s awesome! I never knew those existed, it looks like you could make some professional looking custom hoses! Thanks for posting the video, I definitely learned something new today!
I stuck with problem.. Got pressure pot with AIR-MIC20M 1/4" coupler, but my air hose have german profile 3/8" coupling (maybe EC20H) And air leak is insane.. I don't know what to do.. How I should fix issue.. Buy new hose from America and pray it fits with compressor coupler.. Somehow install American coupler in to compressor.. Get new air regulator and pray it fits pressure pot.. Or maybe try your method.., but question if I can use any coupler at 03:00
My only concern is that the fitting that goes over the hose would leak some. Does it? And could a person use teflon tape around the hose end to help prevent it?
@@RickyisHere For a couple days I need to use the old connection piece with the ribs, but when those threaded fittings come in, cannot wait to put them on.
I have a problem. I bought an air compressor on ebay. There is a broken-off connector inside the coupler on the compressor. When I try to remove the bad connector to install another one, the coupler won't screw off with even a long-handled wrench. How to get the coupler off without ruining the pipe to the compressor?
Regardless how big or small, worm gear clamps should not have hose protruding in the clamp. The barbs are to hold it on. The clamp is just a bit of pressure on barbs
Thanks. I have a very similar setup, and the end of the hose on my reel became cracked and failed. Now I think I can just cut off a foot or two of the end, put on a new fitting, and be good to go again.
Nice video Ricky. That was a good find on the reusable hose repair fitting. Maybe you can go edit in the link to where you found yours, or pin it to the top. Great content so far, keep up the good work!
Thank you +Rob's Wrenches, I didnt post the link on the video because people could say that I am advertising the item when its not the case. Here it is: Dixon BN32RU62 Brass Reusable Fitting, Adapter, 1/4" NPTF Male x 3/8" Hose ID, 5/8" Hose OD www.amazon.com/dp/B00835MUO8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QAdRzbQA57QPE This is the one I purchased but there are many other brands and retailers. Thank you for watching!
Thanks Ricky, I think that anyone who would believe that would be misguided. We are all here to share and collect information that saves us time and money, etc. Thank you for the info.
FYI -You are using way to much teflon tape it should be the 2 x 2 rule; leave the first two threads bare and 1 1/2 to 2 wraps in the direction you are tighting the fitting. The teflon is designed as a lubrcant not a sealant..
Thanks for the input, I always eyeball it but I wasn’t aware of the 2 X 2 rule. You learn something every day. So far no problems to report on the hose. Thanks once again for posting your comment 👍🏼
I am using less Teflon tape lately and usually use blue Loctite instead. It's easier and looks better. Quite often 1/4 inch NPT air fittings will seal without anything at all. On the other hand, I have had poorly machined NPT fittings that would only seal with a ridiculous amount of Teflon tape.
I ordered this kit on Amazon and installed the first coupler. As I was screwing in the 2nd coupler, the outer part of the hose separated from the inner hose and it was like a clean cut at the bottom of the first coupler. What now? My hose it probably around 15 years old and seems a little brittle. Maybe I just need to replace my entire hose reel?
after reading some of this, I'm not going to waste my time with these DIY hackjob solutions I got an estimate for a spring hand lever crimper about CDN$1100 plus about CDN$300 for every die set...... but it's something I will be using, as I have a lot of hoses to fix/repair $2000 buy once cry once
I am horrifically poor I dont have cash for fancy replacements should I In theory be able to use the standard air hose valve barb and clamp on a bike pump hose ?
Those reuseable fittings look like a great thing to have in the field or in a shop, but might be a little pricey for home use. Check if your local auto parts store carries air hose ferrules and if they do the crimping. The ferrules are about a dollar and they'll usually crimp it on for you for free if you buy the ferrule. You can use the original barb that came on the hose so it'll only cost you a buck and a trip to the store.
Thanks for the comment, I prefer to pay a little extra for the peace of mind (better be safe than sorry) but everybody is on a budget. Thanks for watching! I will post a follow up video about the compressor so stick around. Thanks for the subscription!
Costs aside, hose barb ends with a properly crimped ferrule are safer and more secure. They're an industry standard in liquid, gas, and hydraulic applications and they can handle high pressures. It's the reason hoses come from the factory that way (again, regardless of cost). Those reusable fittings explicitly state "Recommended for low pressure air hose applications", which is absolutely fine for emergency field or personal/home use (up to 250 psi), but you're not paying extra for anything more than convenience. You're welcome. At first I wasn't sure if it was a spam channel copying other people's content because of your older videos, but now that I know it's real, I'll keep an eye out for the compressor vid.
Hi Rolois I found this video because I was trying to get some idea how to repair a bike pump hose my thoughts are why not see if I can take standard air hose repair methods and apply to a bike pump hose I guess theoertically it should work ?
It worked for the most part, but now there's a very small leak coming from between my gun and the adapter. What would you recommend to seal that small gap?
@@CoyoteCarChannel You are talking about 3:00 right? He wrapped in the same direction of tightening the fitting... so it wont unwrap when installing...

Thank you! Glad I was able to help
Ricky, your video did the trick. Saved me time and money. Thanks!
That is exactly what I needed and this is the only place I ever learned that such a part existed. GREAT HELP. THANK YOU.
you are welcome Doc 👍🏼
Very clean repair! Thanks for posting!

Great video, showed me what I needed to know. Tractor Supply sells them for 5.00 a piece.
Great simple video, great solution for something useful for everyone. Thanks!
so much more professional looking than my many hose-clamp fixes. thanx for the video
Thank you 👍🏼
Great way to teach details!
thank you, I appreciate your comment!
Thanks, great explanation. Perfect fix for my problem.
Most importantly, use 500 foot of teflon tape on each fitting.
I was about to say! Ha ha ha ha yeah 3 yards of Teflon!
Can you use gas line yellow Teflon or white which is better?
Hey Ricky that’s awesome! I never knew those existed, it looks like you could make some professional looking custom hoses! Thanks for posting the video, I definitely learned something new today!

I use pex crimp rings instead of a hose clamp It works great

Big thumbs up just bought a second hand hose . seller didnt mention leak! This solves it
Thanks for watching and I am glad to help! Let us know how it works for you👍🏼
Thanks for the link Ricky great video.
Just ordered them on your link, and thanks for providing the link, video also very, very helpful.

Technically, what is the name of the pipe connector you used here? Will be much obliged for the information as I badly need the thing.
Not sure whats the exact term, I wish I would have an answer
Thanks for the video sir!

Where can I get a hose socket like this?

Hi. Thanks for the video. But I couldn’t catch the name of the fitting you used. Can you spell it out for me? I’m hard of hearing. Thanks

A good instructional video. I didn't occur to me tha the internal thread was left handed. Thanks
Thanks man, i didnt even know these existed .
thank you for watching the video 👍🏼

Ycan put some sealer ur glue in...😊
Can you buy at harbor freight
Good vid. I did just as you showed when I blew a compressor hose. Maury, 316 Automotive
Its look perfect for me
Thank you great idea!
Less Teflon the better. 2 rotations is the recommendation more than that the female threads tear the Teflon.
good to know !💪🏼
well done chimpala... (Y)
Great - that's exactly what I was looking for !!! Do they come in 1/4 too ? I'll check. Thanks for the video !
thanks for watching!
that fitting cost as much as a new hose
You put the Teflon on the wrong direction.
Correct
No, he put it on in the correct direction. Just way too much of it.
88mmFlaK no he definitely wrapped it the wrong direction.
@@CoyoteCarChannel You are talking about 3:00 right? He wrapped in the same direction of tightening the fitting... so it wont unwrap when installing...
88mmFlaK do a google search
Pl, available shop or phone no may
Pl, inform
????
can you do this on 1/2" ID air hose too ? ?
outside diameter about 7/8"
not sure
