- This one may seem like common sense, but people just seem to not think of it.
In this video, I'm going to show you how to quickly identify (ID) the size of both hardline and soft hose using just a simple wrench. You don't need to run out and grab your micrometer. All you have to do is grab your wrenches and see what size wrench fits over the the line.
For a hard line, you will fit your wrench over the outside diameter of the line.
For soft hose, you will put your wrench over the hose barb to see what the inside diameter of the line is. Its that easy.

very useful
thanks
good info....
Adjustable wrench and a tape measure can work too. 👍
Same for Metric!
Great tip there. Hard lines are a pain to size without a vernier.
I always tried to remember what size fitting equated to which line size, but that’s bitten me before on brake lines.
Good tip!!

hydraulic tubing sizes are measured on the tubes outside diameter so no matter what the wall thickness, the ferrules and coupling nuts are all the same size.
That’s true most of the time. I’ve definitely had brake likes with some goofy fittings on the end. Especially at lines that go into the master cylinder.
Lmfao. If you are a real automotive technician you should be able to tell just by looking at the line. Just like looking at a nut and knowing what size it is. Or looking at a bolt and knowing the tread pitch. I have been able to do this all of my 37 years of career
We were all beginners at one time. I did not start out knowing just by looking. That came after years of pulling wrenches.
I've been an electrician most of my adult life and can instantly I.D. pipe size and most nuts by sight, but the pipe sizes are limited to 1/4" size differences, not 1/8". And working in bad lighting (as he said) makes it more difficult. And if you're ordering a replacement part you want to be absolutely sure you have it right. And this is a RUclips video not a master mechanic's class. Young mechanics or weekend warriors probably won't have that sixth sense.
Turns out I’m not a real automotive technician. I’m an aircraft technician. I just like to slum it on the weekends for fun. Thanks for watching! 😎
LMFAO, the obligatory self-important asshole thumping his chest. Thanks for the amazing, and helpful self promotion!
still good tips for the shade tree mechanics of which I am one.
Great tip, thanks for sharing
