I have installed the fittings onto my Matco parking brake valve on the bench. Since these would be a pain to remove once the valve is installed I thought testing them under pressure would be a nice idea.
Anyone have any ideas on how one might bench test something like this? I think I read that Matco does a test up to 1000 psi. Would a local hydraulic hose shop be able to to the test? I now mine does not have the aviation fitting but I could make up some tubes with the AN fitting on one end and they might hook up the auto version on the other end, but then again maybe they can test the aviation versions.
I am hoping maybe someone has had the same idea and found a way to bench test them.
Cheers
