ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION
Step 1. Cut the Hose Cut the hose to proper length with an appropriate cutting tool. Be sure the cut is made square to the hose length.
NOTE: Failure to slide the clips over the hose at this time will requires the clips to be streched over the hose or fitting later. This may permanently damage the clip.
Step 2. Slip on Two Clips Install two proper-sized clips onto the cut end of the hose. Orientation of the clips does not affect the performance of the connection. However, for ease of assembly, both clips should have the same orientation.
Step 3. Oil the Nipple Lubricate the nipple with a generous amount of the refrigeration or A/C system’s compressor lubricating oil. This MUST be done to lower the force of nipple insertion.
Note: Be sure to wipe excess oil from the nipple & hose
Step 4. Insert the Nipple into the Hose To ensure that nipple is fully inserted, check the gap between the cut end of the hose & the shoulder on the nipple. Care should be taken to avoid kinking or other damage to the hose during nipple insertion.
Step 5. Snap on the Cage Snap the cage into the groove on the nipple. The arms should extend over the hose length . When the cage has been correctly installed in the cage groove, the cage will be able to rotate in the groove.
Step 6. Slide the Clip Slide the clips over the cage arms & into the channels on each arm

Step 7. Close the Clip Use the FT1357 pliers to close the clips. The pliers should be positioned squarely on the clip connection points & should remain square during the closing of the clip. The nose of the pliers should be firmly seated under the assembly bump & lock latch. For easiest assembly, the clasp should be closed between the cage arms. If the pliers are not kept square during closing of the clip, the clasp may have an offset. Use the pliers to correct the clasp alignment.
