    摘要: A pivotable hose connector having a connector, an attachment assembly and a clamping nut. The connector housing has a crimp sleeve portion having a threaded outer surface and a lower housing cavity. The attachment assembly has a hose insertion member and a tubular coupling assembly. The hose insertion member has a hose barb and a central bore, and is positioned within the connector housing so that the crimp sleeve portion surrounds the hose barb. The body end is positioned within the lower housing cavity. The tubular coupling assembly is in rotative sealed engagement relative to each of the connector housing and the hose insertion member, and includes a tubular extension having an internal bore portion in fluid communication with the central bore. The clamping nut is threadedly engageable with the outer surface, and includes a bore extending therethrough that corresponds to the central bore.

    摘要: A convertible hose connector assembly includes a clamping nut, a crimp sleeve, a hose insert, and a replacement pipe. The crimp sleeve is coupled to the hose insert and the hose insert is coupled to the replacement pipe. The replacement pipe replaces a coupler coupled to a convertible top hydraulic cylinder prior to being remanufactured to produce a remanufactured convertible top hydraulic cylinder. The remanufactured convertible top hydraulic cylinder including at least one of the hose connector assembly.
