OK, no jokes about a twisting hoses.. but...
I am using Bonaco flexible hose for some fuel lines and brake lines. When tighening as you complete the final torque, the hose twists. This causes the line to twist like an old fashioned telephone cable and cary a preload twist. Is this a problem?
I think the aeroquip hose has a hex fitting connected directly to the hose (not on the swivel head) so that you can use two wrenches to avoid twist, but Vans fuel line and Bonaco don't..
I can pre load the hose in the opposite direction which helps, but its hard to tell how much it will twist, and the hose isn't always easy to reach with two hands.
Any advise from the experts out there?
Thx
