Leistonbmx Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I had a search and couldn't find anything. How do I get a cross over onto a barbed fitting? I heated the cross over but it still doesn't wanna go together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nek0 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I had a search and couldn't find anything. How do I get a cross over onto a barbed fitting? I heated the cross over but it still doesn't wanna go together. To do it the right way, you'll need: Table vise Hammer 14 gauge spoke with nipple threaded upside down Lube of some kind Piece of wood block 1. Take the piece of block, drill a hole slightly smaller than the diameter of the hose. Cut the block in half so you now have a clamping device for the hose 2. Clamp the hose with 1" or so exposed at the top 3. Take the 14 gauge spoke, cut to 4" or so and thread the nipple upside down 4. Lube the tip of the barbed fitting 5. Insert the spoke with the nipple through the barbed fitting so now you have the upside down nipple sitting on top of the barbed fitting (threaded side) 6. Gently tap the head (nipple) and keeping the spoke/barbed fitting/hose straight Now you 'can' do this without the table vise and the piece of block, the spoke/nipple method will keep the barbed fitting fairly straight. Just make sure to lube and tap slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leistonbmx Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Ok. I tried that. But it just split the hose. So I cut the end off and clamped it up. But it keeps slipping through the clamp. I drilled it with a 5mm drill bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leistonbmx Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Or I could just not spend that and make it out of wood like I have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Or I could just not spend that and make it out of wood like I have done. Because that's really working out for you now isn't it? ha ha Sorry I'll stop being a tit now. When ever I fit barbs or splitters I like to push the first bit on by hand just to widen the hole a tiny bit. Then clamp it up as low as you can and tap it in with the hammer bit by bit.
