I know of only two methods that actually last when changing out a water line for a TIG torch.
The torches with the screw on ferrules I pull the braiding back then push on the hose and screw down the ferrule then push the braiding over the ferrule and use heat shrink tubing to hold it in place. Not may favorite method but I for the life of me can't get the braiding inside the ferrule very well. I hate the plastic water lines, not very flexible.
Second is using safety wire in two spots.
I have heard of the brass crimp ferrules but never tried them. Any other methods out there that work well?
On a side note why the heck are the pumps set with so much psi in the first place? Not everyone runs max amps all day long.
