Thread: AOA Tubing Quick Disconnect

    AOA Tubing Quick Disconnect

    Are there fittings available to allow an easy method to disconnect AOA tubing? For my 3400 & 4500 hose barb connection it seems the only way to get the tubing off is by cutting it off with a razor blade. If either box is in and out of the panel a number of many times you'll eventually run out of free tubing. A quick disconnect fitting would be nice. Thanks

    Pull harder, they will come off and go on just fine.

    I'm shoving them all of the way on the hose barb when I attach them. When I pull them off they appear to be necked down by the pulling force. Maybe I just need to put them on past the first ridge only on the hose barb?

    We have AOA hoses here that have been pulled off and put on hundreds of times while testing units. While they do expand slightly on the ends, they've never leaked and still provide a very tight seal that aircraft vibrations could not compromise.
