Another post asking about a
source for SS hose assemblies prompted me to seek help as well. I replaced the
Nylaflow tubing in the gear legs of my IV-P with stainless braid-coated tubing.
Installation was pretty straightforward until I got to the connection part.
Basic problem is that the stainless tubing will tolerate much less twist than
the old Nylaflow and I am concerned about the significant twist imposed on the
line when the gear is extended/retracted. I have tried rerouting and relocating
the mounting and connection points with little improvement. I found connectors
with built in swivel capability for lines as small as 3/8”, but none
smaller. Are such connectors made for ¼” (-4) lines? If so, does
anyone have a source? Other suggestions?
Thanks,
Bob
