Education

More like a refresher source. I have been working on automotive Air Conditioning for
four decades. Repairing, installing, charging, upgrading, on all different makes and
models of cars. When it came to the ac lines, for years it was just a rubber hose
that went over a barb fitting, with a clamp much like a heater hose clamp. That is what is on my truck. The new cars have what is called bradlock fittings. These are better, and better looking. Beadlock fittings require an expensive crimper tool to install the fitting to the hose. Since the ac shops charge up to $15.00 a fitting to crimp them, and there are 8 fittings, that is over half the price on the tool. I had decided to buy a crimper tool..

In preparing to install the AC in Henry I called my suppler to see if they carried the tool. I explained that I wanted to use Stainless Steel Braided Hose. This is the best and best looking hose available. OH my goodness, I can't use beadlock or barb fittings. With Stainless Steel Braided hose, you have to use a stainless steel fittings. These fittings are much harder and require a industrial hydraulic powered hose crimper. Places that repair hydraulic hose for big equipment is where you find someone that can do this.

So much for doing it all my self. But it will be very professional when it is done.
