Crusader oil Cooler Hose

[cuppa]

Any one have any idea what these red bands are?

Do they replace the crimped connection on the oil cooler line?

The cooler was replaced, and the line is leaking. It has these red band here, and I am not sure what they are, should it have a crimped connection?



Thanks

They look like "push lock" type fitting's. You can put a hose clamp on them. Usually if the hose and fittings are good the hose just pushes up to the collar. They are for low pressure applications. Probably just need to remove and replace the hose. Do it before it fail's. Frank

Are the lines low pressure?

Considering the pressure's that run in the "hydraulic" world, yes. If you've got any question take em' off and carry them to a hydraulic shop. If they're leaking they need to be replaced before they dump your oil. Frank
