What should I do if my hydraulic hose is leaking?
What should I do if my hydraulic hose is leaking? To avoid particles in your hydraulic hose, all hose assemblies should be cleaned before fittings are installed, either by flushing or using high-pressure projectiles. Once a hose assembly is cleaned, use caps and plugs to keep them clean until they are installed in the system. Why do I have leaks in my hydraulic fittings? It might seem intuitive that the tighter you make a fitting, the better it will seal. It can be argued that some leaks are caused from a loosened nut, but overtightening is not a universal solution...
