About Loc-Line and Snap-Loc Coolant Hose

Assemble and disassemble Loc-Line and Snap-Loc coolant hose by snapping components together or pulling them apart. Assembly and separation tools (sold separately) are recommended.

To ensure compatibility, select the color and trade size that match your current system. A system’s trade size is equal to the ID of its hose.

How to Identify and Measure Fittings

Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

About Measuring Hose and Tube Clamps

What's the best way to determine the clamp size you'll need? Simply measure the outside diameter of your hose with the fitting installed. Some clamps accommodate a range of sizes, so be sure the size you need falls in the middle of that range.

This tool allows you to connect large quantities of barbed fittings to push-on hose. Use the built-in cutter to squarely cut push-on hose without fraying. Next, lubricate either the push-on hose, fitting or both. Then, clamp the hose into the tool’s vise and apply light pressure on the handle to drive into the fitting.

Hose Crimping Tool and Fitting Sets for Compressed Gas

Sets contain a crimping tool and a variety of fittings, nuts, and ferrules so you can connect pressure regulators, torches, and other components of your welding system. Fittings are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) fittings. They are brass for good corrosion resistance.

Barbed adapters let you adapt to a threaded end so you can connect welding hose to pressure regulators or torches. They consist of a barbed shaft with a rounded end that sits inside a threaded nut so you can make a threaded hose connection.

Barbed connectors are also known as hose menders and splicers. Use them to connect lengths of hose or to repair damaged hose. Slide the barbed end into welding hose and use a hose ferrule and the crimping tool to secure the fitting to hose.

Threaded connectors let you attach threaded welding hose to pressure regulators and torches.

Fittings with left-hand threads are identified with a notch in the nut.

Note: Fittings have a CGA number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a fitting with the same CGA number as your tank and other system components.

Hose and Tube Pinch-Off Pliers

Lever Release

Quick Release

Clamp down on nonreinforced hose and tube to squeeze it shut, eliminating the need to drain the hose when working on pumps, heating and cooling systems, and fuel lines. Squeeze the handles to lock the jaws and these pliers stay in place. They have plastic grips for comfort.

Pliers with lever release open when you press the lever.

Pliers with quick release are easier to open with one hand than lever release—push the handles open with your fingers.

Pinch Clamp Pliers

Straight Jaw

Straight and Side Jaw

Straight Jaw with Center Handle

Crimp pinch clamps closed on hose and tube. Also known as pinch clamp pincers.

Straight jaw pliers must be used perpendicular to the hose.

Straight and side jaw pliers are good for tight spaces because you can use them parallel or perpendicular to the hose.

Pliers with a center handle have an added handle that reduces the fully open grip span. They also have a higher closing force than the other pliers, so they require less strength to crimp pinch clamps closed. You can use them with double pinch clamps.

Multipurpose Pipe, Tube, and Hose Cutters

Cut plastic and rubber pipe, tubing, and hose.

Spring-action cutters have jaws that open automatically when you release the handles.

Cutters with steel blades have a slippery PTFE coating that helps the blade smoothly cut soft plastic and rubber. However, it will scrape off if used on harder material such as PVC pipe.

Cutters with stainless steel blades stay sharp longer than coated blades when cutting hard material. Because they are uncoated, you’ll feel more resistance when cutting.
