Twist and Seal
Most Hose Locks are three-piece assemblies--two halves containing a compression ring inside. The compression ring is machined with a tapered face to match the seats inside the two Hose Lock halves. When the halves are tightened together, the ring is compressed, squeezing the hose against the nipple it has been slipped over. Prior to installing the Hose Lock, the two halves should be disassembled to verify that the compression ring is not compressed at all. Hose Locks are shipped with anti-seize compound on the threads. This is vitally important, as they will gall otherwise. View Related Article
