A/C Lines Ends Installed

Princess Auto can't do A/C lines because A/c fittings require different dies than hydraulic fittings. Maybe DaveM knows where to get them done ??

Anyone know of a place in the GTA that can crimp/swage/install or whatever you call the process of attaching the ends to my new a/c lines?

Got to get the new a/c running soon.

Any hydraulic shop should be able to crimp the for you.

Princess Auto by me will do it, might be worth a shot. I would make sure you line them up and mark them before you take them in. Keep things from twisting on you.

Thanks Brian.

Do you think I can trust the guys at Princess Auto?

If so. I could have this system piped up this weekend and ready to charge.

 Pugsy: The guys at Princess Auto will likely charge you unless you buy the hose and fittings in-store. I would ask an employee to get their most experienced hydraulic specialist and comeback another time if he wasn't working that day. Otherwise take it to a dedicated industrial hose supplier, especially if you'll have to pay Princess Auto anyway - It's All they do!

Define GTA?wink 

If you are using beadlock fittings , maybe come a little east and I can help you out reasonably.

I did not want to rely on having to find someone local and good to crimp at my convenience , so I bit the bullet :

 

AC fittings and hydraulic fittings are not the same, and both require different dies. Even barb type and beadlock type AC fittings require different dies. You will compromise the barrier lining of the AC hose if you use the wrong set-up.

^^There you go Pugsy! Can't pass up that deal!
As a side note: Any hydraulic hose specialist should realize the difference between the auto crimps and industrial hydraulic, but it wouldn't hurt to clarify if you go that route.

 Hey Dave.

 

Sounds like an offer I shouldn't refuse. Where abouts are you located?

 

thanks,

Pugsy
