Push the hose fully on to the fitting as quickly as you can, this works best if you can do it in one go, because as soon as the hose touches the fitting it starts losing heat, and it is the heat which made it pliable.Push the hose onto the fitting (which still has the washing-up liquid on to make it slippery).Pull the hose out of the water and use a cloth the quickly dry off the outside of the hose.Put the end of the hose into the boiled water and wait for a minute or two.Doing the next part will be easy! as long as you get the timing right – these are the steps: Next step is to boil the kettle (or pan) of water. You will now have a slippery fitting and probably a slippery hand (which you don’t want) so clean your hand with the cloth at this point. I don’t suggest putting any one the hose. When you are sure you have everything ready the next step is to smear some washing-up liquid onto the outside of the fitting. It is very annoying if you forget this, as you then either have to pull the hose off again or completely unwind the Jubilee clips to get them on (which takes ages!) When you are setting up and getting everything ready make sure you put the Jubilee clips (or other chosen pipe clips) onto the hose in advance if the other end of the hose is already attached.
#RUBBER HOSE CONNECTOR HOW TO#
In this guide we show you how to do this the easy way. Sometimes it seems more often than not, you have to battle to get a tight hose onto a fitting. The other reason why it might not be an option to get the next size up of hose is that the hose you already have is a perfect match to the fitting at the other end (for example the skin-fitting that passes through the hull of the boat). At this point you might be thinking let’s just get the next size hose up, but there are two reasons why often that doesn’t work: one is that the next sized hose up is actually too loose and in this case when you try and squeeze the hose down onto the pipe fitting with Jubilee clips or other hose clips the hose does not make a good seal.
