Maybe I misunderstood--
Mr. DMats post. He was talking about 'socketless' fittings which are essentially raised barbed stems for rubber. Push it on and under low pressures, its fine. Depending of course on the fluid its moving. NylaFlo and brass compression fittings are not socketless. They are compression, and will stand a higher pressure. Many light aircraft use them. Its cheap, easy to use, and lightweight.
At the same time, they can be problematic if not assemblied correctly, or if at the calipers, a long braking period can get the tube hot, and well, and bad day is starting.
Socketless, barbed fittings should not be used in a brake system. Another reason is the tubing is stiffer than rubber, so it doesnt seal around the barb, and can rotate. Air leaks, and fluid leaks are the end result.
If you want to make your own braided teflon assemblies, use a good, well known hose, and hose ends designed for the hose. Some companies have pre-made assemblies in standard lengths, but you'll probably find that they are either too long or too short for what you are doing. Buy a BUNCH of hose, and a BUNCH of hose ends of various angles, make a plan and go for it.
Or---give us a call. Steve and I have plumb ALOT of different planes, and can build custom creations to fit your needs. ( not an infomercial, just the facts). Either way, we're here to help.
