Description
A/C hose master builder kit — with hydraulic crimper
Everything to build your own A/C hoses in-house. This master kit pairs a hydraulic hose crimper with dies with 75 ft of barrier hose (25' each of #6, #8, and #10) and 55 O-ring fittings — straight, 45°, and 90° in every size, plus service ports. Make exact-length assemblies on demand instead of waiting on pre-made hoses.
Make hoses, don't wait for them
Exact-length assemblies
Build the hose your job needs, to the exact length and fitting orientation — no compromises, no adapters.
On demand
Cut, fit, and crimp in minutes instead of waiting days for a pre-made hose to ship.
Professional crimps
The hydraulic crimper and dies produce clean, consistent, leak-free beadlock crimps every time.
Modern barrier hose
Low-permeation barrier hose in #6, #8, and #10 for today's A/C systems.
A profit center
Turn hose-building into a service you sell — the kit pays for itself over pre-made assemblies.
Everything to start
Tool, hose, and a spread of fittings in one box — a complete starting point for a hose bench.

Build a hose in four steps
Cut to length
Measure the run and cut the #6, #8, or #10 barrier hose to the exact length you need.
Fit the ends
Choose the straight, 45°, or 90° O-ring fitting for each end and seat it on the hose.
Crimp
Set the matching die in the hydraulic crimper and crimp the beadlock fitting to the hose.
Pressure-test
Confirm the assembly holds pressure, then install it. A clean crimp seals leak-free.
Restock & expand
A/C barrier hose
Restock #6, #8, #10 — and add #12 — by the roll when you run low.
