Description & Features

The E-Z Clip Series Fitting offers exceptional reliability with its 7/8-18 male O-ring and short pilot design, suited for -12 hoses in various industrial applications.

This fitting, designed by Danfoss Power Solutions, eliminates the need for power tools, making it as easy to use as a pair of pliers. Its straightforward installation process, combined with a no-leak crimp solution, ensures long-lasting performance without the complications typically associated with traditional fittings.

Manufactured from high-quality materials, this component is compatible with the GH134 Multi-Refrigerant hose and includes clips, a cage, and a nipple assembly designed to work seamlessly together. The installation requires no additional lubricants beyond compressor oil, enhancing user convenience.

Designed to be used in confined spaces, the fitting simplifies maintenance and installation processes, ensuring efficiency and safety. The specific rubber compound and size of the two black O-rings on the nipple assembly should be maintained, as they are integral to the system's integrity.

Question by: Donna E on Sep 20, 2025, 10:11 AM
Can you use this with just any old hose, or does it need to be Aeroquip?
Answer by: Customer Support on Sep 21, 2025, 7:34 PM
It's designed for use with Aeroquip GH134 Multi-Refrigerant hose to make sure the connection is reliable. Using other hoses might not be so safe.
Question by: Dean C on Jan 31, 2026, 9:26 AM
Can this fitting handle the new refrigerants without leaking?
Answer by: Customer Support on Feb 1, 2026, 2:25 PM
Absolutely. This E-Z Clip Series Fitting is designed for use with the GH134 Multi-Refrigerant hose, ensuring a no-leak crimp solution.

what tool do i need to close the clips on this thing? got the fitting but not sure if i need something special or if any pliers will do
Answer by: Customer Support on Apr 6, 2025, 6:07 AM
You'll want the FT1357 Clip Closing Pliers specifically for this job. Regular pliers won't position correctly on the clip connection points. The FT1357 needs to sit square on those points and stay square through the whole close, so using a substitute risks a bad seal or a damaged clip. It's a dedicated tool for this system and worth having on hand before you start.

trying to replace an old straight fitting, how do i tell if this is the right one for my -12 hose?
Answer by: Customer Support on Apr 24, 2025, 6:03 AM
Match up the connection and hose callouts: this one is a straight E-Z Clip Series fitting for a -12 hose, with a 7/8-18 male O-ring end and a short pilot nipple. It is meant to be used with GH134 Multi-Refrigerant hose, using the E-Z Clip cage and two clips that go with the fitting.
