Push-Lok Hose Assembly

The Push-Lok assembly process is simple:

Cut Hose to Length: Ensure a clean and square cut using a sharp knife or Parker Push-Lok cut-off tool.

Lubricate: Apply a light oil or soapy water to the fitting and/or hose inner diameter.

Insert Fitting: Insert the fitting into the hose until the barb is inside.

Push and Lock: Place the end fitting against a flat surface and push the hose firmly onto the fitting until it's fully covered by the yellow plastic cap.

Important Note: Avoid using exterior clamps as they can compromise sealing integrity.

Disassembly is equally straightforward:

Cut the Hose End: Cut the hose lengthwise from the yellow cap, being careful not to nick the fitting barbs.

Pull: Grip the hose and pull downward to disengage the fitting.
