Tube end parts: Manufacture the two aluminum 6061 tube end parts by using the CNC tuning method.
Socket and Nut: Manufacture the 2024 alloy socket and nut by using the CNC turning method.
Lock wires: Prepare the stainless steel lock wires by use cutting metal.
Secondly, weld the two tube end parts with the middle tube, make them be one piece firmly without any leakage problem.
After that, assemble the socket, nut, and lock wire on the middle tube, so the complete hose end is ready.
How To Install Hose Into AN Fittings?

Step2: Hold the socket in the bench vise. Push the hose down into the socket with a twisting until the hose is positioned to the bottom.
