HP hoses fittings

[Graffiti Wash]

We recently installed new equipment at our car wash and we are having issues with the HP hoses breaking off or popping off inside our equipment room. Our hoses are Continental ContiTech Neptune 3000 3/8 wire braid hose. Any recommendations for fittings or clamps?

You better have a come'n to Jesus meeting with whoever you got your hoses from because the ends shouldn't be coming off if the hose weren't properly made up. I use this reusable fitting for a field repair https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-27...re-braid-hose-fitting-3-8-hose-x-3-8-npt.aspx

This. Guarantee they are under crimped. Hose type and end type must be matched to a specific die when crimping.

I’ve seen some real abortion hose assemblies come out of these so called hose shops or equipment distributors. When I was a young apprentice part of my 5 year apprenticeship was working in a hose shop for 6 months. We made every hose you could ever imagine.

When I make my hoses, I mic or use dial calipers and check the crimped diameter to make sure its in tolerance. Like already mentioned, tolerances are given for matched ends and hose..I've never had an end pop off! Thats crazy!

The fact that you bring up fittings and clamps makes me think they are putting the HP hose on a hose barb then clamping it with hose clamps. You should post some pictures.
