Separation Of The Ends Of TP7T, TP7TN, TP8T & TP8TN Twin Hose

Note: RYCO TP7T, TP7TN, TP8T and TP8TN Twin Hose must be separated at the ends to permit the attachment of the couplings. Procedure is as follows:

Step One:

TP7T, TP7TN, TP8T and TP8TN Twin Hose step one
  • Cut hose to length required using a sharp knife.
  • Ensure hose is cut squarely.
  • Clean hose bore.

Step Two:

  • Arrange the end of the twin line hose so that it is lying straight and flat, resting on the bottom of both hoses, on a horizontal work surface.
  • Mark the length to be separated on the cover of the hoses.
  • The separation length required may vary depending on the crimper being used.
  • Separation length must allow each hose end to be inserted into the crimper without kinking the other hose.

Step Three:

  • Hold the hoses flat on the work bench, and lightly score along the join between the two hoses with a blunt knife.
  • Keep the knife vertical to avoid cover damage.
  • It may be necessary to score along the join several times.
  • Take care not to damage the covers of the hoses.
  • Turn the hose over and repeat the above to score the other side of the join.
  • The hoses will now be able to be separated by pulling apart.
  • Inspect the covers to ensure there is no damage, if the cover is cut or the reinforcement is exposed, the hoses must not be used.

  • After crimping the couplings, the hoses can be tied together at the separation area with tape or a cable tie to prevent the hoses becoming further separated accidentally.
