Air Hose Leaking

oregon woodsmok · #1 07/29/13, 11:45 PM

Is it possible to repair an air hose (for the compressor) that has started to leak right at the end fitting?

The fitting looks like it is crimped on. Is there some place to take it where they will cut the end of the hose off and put a new fitting on it?

The hose is a rubber one. Not the top of the line, but it wasn't cheap, either.

Any place that makes hydraulic hoses should be able to repair/replace the fitting.

Unless you're using it for some high pressure application you can cut it off and put in a barbed fitting with a couple of hose clamps

This type of fittings and as Dale posted----a couple hose clamps and you will be good.

I always just cut the outer "crimped" part of the fitting off with a hacksaw, then cut the hose off a few inches up and reattach with hose clamps.
