Leaky joints

[gld]

Bought one of these hoses(http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INPDFF?PMPAGE=863&PMCTLG=00) for my coolant system and every joint in that thing leaks.

Is this the norm for that type hose?

Oh. leaky! I thought you said creaky, and I was going to say welcome to the club!
LOL! Couldn't resist!

Used that type on a old Atlas mill and did not have trouble with leaks.
Don't use coolent in the home shop anymore. No need to run cutters at high speed or make heavy cut and just found it more of a mess and cleanup problem then it was worth.

I use LocLine hoses on my CNC mills and they don't leak at all. Something is wrong there.

Did you get the tool for assembling lock line together. If not assembled correctly you could have the problems you are encountering.

No tool. When i purchased this, it came assembled.

Pictures will help. Does the line stay where You point it or does it sag?

 

[gld]

Yes, it did hold position. Just leaked at every joint.

Sorry, too late for pictures, it's gone in the trash. I did keep the 1/4 pipe fitting and nozzle.

Ask them why it leaks may be a bad batch.
