Step 2: Attach the Shell
Thread the shell onto the air brake hose (outside diameter) by hand. Continue threading until it reaches the inside lip of the hose.
Step 3: Insert the Brass Hose Barb
Using the supplied Allen hex wrench, screw the brass hose barb into the air brake hose (inside diameter) until the fitting is flush with the shell. This ensures a secure, airtight connection.
Step 4: Verify the Connection
Check that the fittings are secure and properly aligned. The connection should be tight to ensure no air leaks under pressure.
