Great product, requires some muscle to get the hose ends to start. My advice, buy the mandrels for the hose size you are using. Without the mandrel you will most likely create a flapper valve on the inner wall of the hose and cause oil or fuel starvation. Use lots of oil in the hose and on the fittings during assembly. The 303 hose will most likely outlive the installer, its a solid and reliable product.

Tough stuff! But worth it!

Eaton Aeroquip Hose 303-10 5/8

Good

Hose worked fine and will last a long time!

Just what I needed

Arrived quickly and is perfect for manufacturing my replacement brake lines,

Easy to work with.

just what I ordered, a length of 303 hose

Areoquip 303 hose does the job in my cherokee.

This is the ticket for replacing fuel lines in early, six cylinder Cessnas. I tape where I’ll be cutting it with a couple layers of tightly wrapped masking tape, then cut it with a fine toothed, bi-metal hacksaw. I then peel off the tape and trim back the outer cotton wrap and steel braiding about 1/8” and it’s ready to be screwed into the fitting: counter-clockwise (lefty-tighty). use plenty of oil on the inner fitting before you thread that inside the hose: clockwise (righty tighty). Use a mandrel! If you’re too broke to buy a new one, watch eBay for a used one, or borrow one.

Item was just as described and hose build up was a snap with the associated fittings.

Great hose. Much easier to assemble than stratoflex. No fire sleeve required. If your old hoses are stiff replace them.

Wrong hose

This stuff lasts forever, but if the cloth braid tears and the underlying metal braid rusts, then the hose could eventually fail. Spruce always sends a piece longer than you ordered and thats good because the device they use to cut the hose makes it impossible to put the ferrule on. You need to make a very clean cut to be able to install the ferrules. I use a Dremel diamond blade cut off wheel.

Great project part for student projects.

Now this hose was the best to work with!!! The inside ID was perfect for the fitting. The fitting went on and off with no problem the best so far. Great hose to work with. I cut with a zip blade on the 5 grinder good stuff.

The ends of the hose were cut off very poorly as though someone squashed them in a device used to cut rope or cable. The first aeroquip fitting I installed did not come out right and had a problem. I removed it and cut an inch off the damaged ends of the hose and installed them properly. Fortunately I had just enough hose to complete the job. You need to tape the cut area and use a chop saw as per Eatons recommendation for cutting hose.

Little on the pricey side, but overall a good quality hose.

This hose was a companion to breeze clamps. Packaging was great everything arrived fine. Always get good service from Aircraft Spruce

Not at all what I was looking for. Probably my fault.

some how I ordered a 10 instead of a 8 , my fault . However, Both ends were so poorly cut that if this was the right size , I would have ended up with a hose to short since it would have to be recut.
