Gentec hose failure

[Sparkey]

The oxygen hose on my little Gentec hand torch is leaking and it looks like I could just cut and re-attach the hoses. Would anyone have suggestions on the little clips to cinch the hoses on the torch? I have to say that the build quality on these hoses seems poor.

Thanks,

Josh

use bailing wire to wrap the hose with. Put the hose on the barb and carefully wrap with wire a few times then gently twist the ends together using pliers. Not to tight or else the hose will be punctured. Afterwards do a leak test with a spray bottle, filled with warm water and a couple drops of dawn dish soap. Spray and check for bubbles/leaks.

These type of pies seem to work. Like mentioned, just don't muscle them
