Frequently asked questions
How many do I need to splice in the ON/OFF valve?
The valve has two sides, so splicing it into a continuous hose takes two fittings - one at each end.
How does it differ from X02-11-006?
X02-11-006 is the female swivel version. This one is male and goes into the female sockets on APEX hardware.
Will it fit another brand of hose?
The manufacturer lists it for APEX 3/8 braided line. With another hose, check the inner diameter and how it is clamped.
Why it is worth it
- the most used fitting in systems built on APEX hardware
- a genuine APEX Designs and Performance Products part
