Is this what you are describing? Is there a name for this fitting I can give them?
HWH pumps run at 2900 to 3200 PSI. You do NOT have to replace the complete line. IF the Shop has a tool(I do), you can install the metal flare ends on the end of the bad hose in front of the damaged area(cutting out the hose from the jack to the damaged spot) and then just make a short hose to go from the original to that Jack. Saves time and money. Doug
