At 5:12 you state this is the RaceRite hose, when in fact this crimp vid is shown crimping the RaceRite "PRO" hose which is the hose with the single strand ss wire as shown. Just thought it may be important to clarify. Otherwise great vid😊👍 5:12
The crimp needs to be within a given range +/- .005. With that tight tolerance it will be hard to gauge if you need to go farther or not. I would recommend a crimper simular to this style with an adjustable needle to tight in crimping spec.

Good call! You are correct it is the PRO hose. The standard hose is actually going to be discontinued by the end of the year. The PRO is all we use!
Am I stuck needing to purchase a crimp machine for ~$3000 to assemble these correctly? Crimp hose ends and PTFE is what I’d like to use going forward.
use glue heat shrink on the cut
the heat shrink glue bleeds into the mesh and keeps it real tidy
Does the heat shrink need to be removed before crimping?
Do the fittings need to be clocked?? just curious
It was unclear weather or not he removed the fabric tape from the end of the hose before the final assembly and crimp. Will someone please clarify??
Yes we leave the tape on. Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial, how do you feel about using an A/C crimping tool to get the job done?
