It fits Racetronix TFT-1165, TFT-1167, TFT-1168 and TFT-1170 PTFE hose, and comes with its FIT-CP10C aluminum crimp collar, crimped on with a hydraulic hose crimper, for a permanent, compact assembly.

Specifications

Current production may vary from the image.

The AN end seals metal to metal on its 37° flare, not on the threads. Do not put Teflon tape or thread sealant on it.

Making a crimp assembly

1. Tape, then mark. Wrap masking tape tightly around the hose where you will cut, so the braid does not fray, then measure and mark the cut on the tape, allowing for the length each fitting adds.
2. Cut square through the mark with a thin cut-off wheel (the thin Bosch wheels work well), not a thick grinding wheel. Remove the tape and trim any stray braid wires flush.
3. Trim back any coating. On black covered (B) hose, cut the Hytrel or PVC coating back from the crimp area so the collar sits directly on the braid.
4. Clean the hose. Blast the cut end and the bore with brake cleaner, then blow it out with compressed air to clear all cutting debris.
5. Slide the collar onto the hose.
6. Push the nipple fully into the hose until the hose bottoms against the fitting, then bring the collar up against the fitting so it covers the nipple.
7. Line up angled ends first. Once crimped, the fitting cannot be turned on the hose, so line the angle up with the other end of the assembly and mark the hose and fitting before you crimp.
8. Crimp with a die that covers the collar size, following your crimper’s instructions, to the finished outside diameter in the crimp chart for your hose.
9. Measure the crimp with calipers in at least three places around the collar and compare it with the chart. If it is under size (over-crimped), cut it off and make a new end.
10. Flush and cap. Blow the finished assembly through with solvent and compressed air, cap both ends until it is installed, and pressure-test it before use.

The FIT-CP10F replaces or compares with these parts from other brands. "Similar" means a close match that differs in a detail such as the hose it is made for, the crimp diameter, or whether the collar is included.

About this cross-reference. We compiled these equivalent part numbers from the manufacturers’ published catalogs and websites, and we update them when we can. We have not fitted or tested other brands’ parts with ours. Please check the hose size, bore and end type against your application before you order, or email [email protected] and we’ll help. Final fitment is the buyer’s responsibility. Brand names and part numbers belong to their owners and are used for reference only; Racetronix is not affiliated with these companies.
