RE-USE:
All of Earl’s removable hose ends are
completely reusable, as is the hose and as are most of the competing
brands. As usual, Earl’s have an edge. When disassembling a
nipple and cutter type hose end, it is very common for the inner tube of the
liner, which is captured between the nipple and cutter, to be torn off and to
remain in place. If this happens, the rubber must be removed before the
hose end can be reused—and it is a bear to get out. With SWIVEL-SEAL
the chances of this happening are greatly diminished because the cutter can
rotate with respect to the nipple so that the rubber is faced with only one
moving surface.
The procedure is as follows:
Place the socket in
a vise, and with a wrench on the nipple and another on the cutter, hold the
nipple and turn the cutter until the socket is disengaged. Then pull
the hose off the nipple. This method will only work with the angled
SWIVEL-SEALS. With the straight hose ends, you can either, hold the
socket in the vise and turn the nipple or you can remove the cutter from the
nipple. All parts of the SWIVEL-SEAL are ready for reuse as soon as
they have bee cleaned and re-lubricated.
