Specializing in Custom made Hose Assemblies and Products

The Pilot mandrel is screwed into the Insertion Fixture handle.   They are made to the size of hose that you are using.   The fitting sits on the pin, of the pilot mandrel, that is just slightly under the size of the hose barb and holds it in place until you insert it.   The pilot also helps to keep the fitting centered in the tube, helping to lessen the chance of accidental rolling of the tube.
