High-Pressure Hose Repair Using Splicer.

TM 5-3835-222-BD

Procedural Steps:

a. Remove the damaged hose.

b. Measure desired length of hose (see para 8-14) and cut to correct length (see para 8-15).

c. Attach fitting to each end of the replacement hose (see para 8-16).

d. Install assembled hose.

e. Check that the hydraulic reservoir level Is at least at the minimum operating level. If this level

is low, refer to para 8-13 and fill the reservoir as needed.

f. Operate all hydraulic subsystems (except those that may still be damaged) to remove air from the

system. Check carefully for fluid leaks. Tighten leaking fittings.

a. Check the hydraulic reservoir again to ensure a sufficient hydraulic fluid level. If this level

is low, refer to para 8-13 and fill the reservoir as needed.

g. Record the BDAR action taken. When the mission is completed, as soon as practicable, repair

repair using standard maintenance procedures.

8-5.2 High-Pressure Hose Repair Using Splicer.

Limitations:

High-pressure hose must be used for high-pressure repair.

Removing damaged area and splicing hose may cause hose to be too short to be properly installed.

One end of hose may need to be refabricated in order to achieve desired hose length.

Personnel/Time Required:

1 soldier - 50 minutes

Materials/Tools:

Tool Kit

Hose Splicer

Hose Clamp(s)

Tape

Saw

Procedural Steps:

a. Determine if hose will be long enough to complete repair once the damaged section is removed

and the splicer is inserted. If it is not, proceed to para 8-5.3.

b. Squarely cut each end of the damaged hose
