Earl's Tube-Mate Auto-Fit Hose Ends

Tube-Mate Auto-Fit™ Hose Ends

Earl's Auto-Fit design provides the reliability and appearance of Swivel-Seal but are easier to assemble and less

With the conventional single nipple hose end design, the nipple actually threads into the hose and is retained by the socket. The thread forms a part of the seal - and a possible spiral leak path.

The Auto-Fit nipple is barbed rather than threaded. In assembly the nipple is pushed into rather than threaded into the hose. The hose is compressed between the nipple and the socket, sealing at the barbs. Hose retention is positive (the same as Swivel-Seal) and there is no spiral path for possible leaks.

Color - Blue with Red Socket

Remember: High Pressure Capabilities = Greater Reliability!

It is often necessary to connect a length of rigid metal tubing to a flexible stainless braid protected hose. The only methods available have been either to flare the tubing and use a connection tube nut and sleeve or to weld an adapter fitting to the metal tubing. Earl's Tube-Mate is a unique fitting designed to connect flexible hoses to low pressure tubing without the necessity for welded adapters.
NOTE: Tubing should be flared, beaded or grooved for secure installation. See the Plumbing Accessories section for P/N 40-006ERL grooving wheel.
