With today’s wide range of fittings and hose, finding a replacement hose could not be any simpler, be it an OE replacement, repair, or getting a custom-made hose.

The AC hose assembly is used to carry refrigerant and lubricant between the components and it’s mobile air conditioning system. These systems typically utilize both a pressure and return line.

The 4 basic components of a hose assembly?

The tube (or hose itself), the braid, the braid collars, and the fittings. AC hoses are typically made from a combination of materials designed to withstand high pressure, resist corrosion, and be compatible with refrigerants and lubricating oils. They usually feature a rubber inner tube, a reinforcement layer (often steel braid or spiral), and an outer layer for protection.

Hose Building and Repairs

Today, many hose-sets come with metal tube sections, some of which we already offer.
In cases where no suitable offering is available, in some cases using a hose to replicate the metal tube is a no-compromise option.  In most cases, we’ll build it while you wait. View How To Repair AC Hose here.

We make hoses based on the specifications provided by sample or by the customer. In the past, finding a supplier capable of doing hose repairs was challenging, however, with today’s wide range of products and given that the replacement does not need to be from the original manufacturer, your replacement could be right here at ATC.

Today, many hose sets come with metal tube sections, some of which we offer. If no suitable fitting is available, using a hose to replicate the metal tube is the next best thing.
Our experience suggests using Aeroquip hose and E-Z Clip may hold an advantage over crimp fittings for replacing metal tubes. Aeroquip EZ Clip & Hose fitting is a simple option for making or repairing Air Conditioning hose lines on heavy-duty trucks, agricultural, construction and other industrial applications. No hydraulic equipment is needed. Rather, a simple, easy-to-use crimping plier enables quick and easy A/C Hose repairs in the field.
Each Aeroquip fitting comes with 2 Clips which slide over the hose and a Cage which locks into the fitting, goes through the cages and is secured with crimper pliers.

The reduced diameter hose enables tighter turns (but not right angles) without concern for “kinks” which would compromise the hose and AC system.
AC Hose Repair using Aeroquip EZ Clip Fittings and Hose is a quick solution for the quick turn around needs and mobile technicians. Providing even greater flexibility, when the E-Z Clip fitting is lubricated with a slight amount of refrigerant oil before it’s inserted into the hose, the direction/index of the fitting can be changed by rotating the fitting in the hose. Once the refrigerant oil used has dried (1-2 hours) the fitting can no longer be turned or re-indexed.
