RL Miller’s VP and General Manager, Rich Kacsuta demonstrates how to install a reusable fitting on a hydraulic hose at RL Miller’s Hose Repair and Service shop.
Begin with a replacement socket in a power vise, align the hydraulic hose, and apply even pressure to carefully thread the socket onto the outside of either end of the hydraulic hose.
When working with a cloth hose, most often it does not require skiving to connect the socket and nipple with a power vise. Visually inspect the socket and hose fitting to confirm that the hose has been seated completely.
Reverse the power vise to accept opposite threaded components. Reinsert the hose and socket assembly into vise. Lubricate the nipple to prevent the lining from tearing as it will be threaded, and pressure sealed inside the diameter of the hose.
Align nipple with socket and tighten components together. Be sure to leave a small gap between the socket and nipple for a completed assembly. This space should be manually adjusted for a tight seal.
Hydraulic hoses with reusable fitting are very popular in the railroad industry because they are easily repaired in the field with a few common tools. When a hydraulic line rips or blow out on-site, significant costs are incurred.
RL Miller routinely repairs hydraulic hoses, components, and seals on-site or at their 24/7 Eaton, Aeroquip, Certified Hose Repair Center. RL Miller offers Hydraulic maintenance, leak detection, certification, service and hose, fittings & couplings repair.

[@sojournsojourntraveler1203]

Yes , a supplier that charges reasonable prices.
They don't require more machining etc than the one time used
only most folks charge like they are gold.

No point in doing a video if you can’t see the fitting to understand how it attaches.
