I would sweat ( silver solder) not weld fittings on the tube,--------
but a better way would be to flair the end of the tube and use a JIC fitting on the tube side and choose a fitting that would provide the correct end to correspond to your hose fitting.
Simple, neat and trouble free.:beerchug:

I've seen it done. It should hold fine. Personally, I'd braze or solder it, but if I had a TIG I'd use it. As long as there are no leaks, a welded adapter is fine. :beerchug:

Edit: George posted before me. I like his idea better. No welding. As a note, there are hydraulic compression fittings that can be crimped to a hose. They work fine in low pressure applications. I've used them. Not my preferred method.... but works.

(Off Topic)I do hate it when people use them on brake lines. Too much pressure... too risky. But, as long as they are tight, I've not seen one come off.

I have no idea as to which method of securing the fittings to the tube he was going to use. I will look into it more though, thanks guys!!

Are your hoses a ORFS? (o ring face seal)

Nope, the hoses are part of the tube assl'y.
Same setup as the OP's post #34

Then put a flair nut & sleeve on the pipe, and flair it.
Then use the appropriate fitting to mate to the flair nut on the pipe end, to the hose fitting, Prolly a union fitting like this,
but not sure without a pix of what you are trying to do.

That's correct.
If he goes right to hydraulic hose, one doesn't need the double nipple union though. Just use a male JIC on the end of the hose. :beerchug:
