Yarome Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I used trident marine VAC XHD hose to plumb my water purification system in and now I'm trying to integrate a water softener tank. For the life of me, I can''t seem to get the hose off of any of the brass plumbing adapters. They won't even rotate on the adapter let alone disconnect. They went on easily enough with nothing special applied and have been double clamped for the past three years, but now they just won't budge. Does anyone know of any tips or tricks (short of cutting them off) to loosen them up? It's not cheap stuff and I would like to re-use it. I tried a little food grade oil, but no dice. I thought of applying heat, but I haven't yet out of fear of doing damage to some of the plastic inlet/outlet ports. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Take a pick or small flat blade screwdriver and try to work it around the hose and fitting. Also twist it counterclockwise. Alie & Jim + 8 paws 2017 DRV Memphis BART- 1998 Volvo 610 Lil'ole 6cyl Cummins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
