Attaching bull hose with spud fittings

BlastOne’s Master Technician, Kerry Cooper, shows how to attach bull hose with spud fittings

 

When you attach a bull hose or biased hose or an air prep, you’ll find several types of fittings. He means up two-inch coupling that I described earlier that had pins in it.

There’s another type as well. This particular type here is called a spud fitting. So, this spud fitting is a BSP thread. It’s got a tape and facing it on the hose towel. And that type of face has a marrying side. So, you have a female thread and a mouth thread that’s on the fitting.

The important thing with these is that you don’t leave them in the grit or the dirt damaged; or drop them, damaged the thread because they’re very difficult to screw on.

It always pays before you thread this onto the fitting that you blow that thread out with a with some compressed air and same on the other end and you don’t utilize some ATC’s.

Once these are done up, of course, you can see that it’s a double bow clamp and the clamp has a clasp on the end of it that holds the hose tile in place again. We attach this hose onto that hose tile with a smear of silicon as a secondary form of a hold mechanism.

This also requires to have a hose whip check on it so the whip check goes around the hose and onto the fitting to hold it in place so that remains the same.
