Braided Lines

<< < (2/2)

lake_harley:
The Push-On fittings really work nicely, but from a visual standpoint the look might be a little too different for many people's taste. I don't know if there would be a issue from any rules standpoint, but the Push-On tubing is some tough stuff. Once tubing is pushed on a fitting, and it takes quite a push to get it seated, I certainly can't pull it back apart. Price-wise it's probably a bit less than braided, but not a huge difference.

Does the hose you use with the push on fittings seem as flexible as the hose with the outer braid?

I paid a premium but I went with goodridge hose and fittings and am thrilled with the result. I know it's expensive and I know you'd have to change the whole plumbing system. But I must say I've been very happy with goodridge stuff

Curly1:
I have tried many with mixed results, much of it comes down to right hose for what you using it on. Right now I am going with Fragola PTFE stuff on my new car. I recommend the PTFE for fuel and transmission lines. It will not dry and crack out with alcohol like many do and the transmission fluid will not make it soft and soggy. The only thing about the PTFE lined hose is it is not as flexible and you do not want to kink it.
