Aluminium Olive Inserts for PTFE Hoses – Essential for Reassembly & Leak-Free Performance
Whenever you remove and reattach a PTFE hose end, a fresh aluminium olive insert is required to maintain a secure, leak-free seal. These precision-engineered inserts ensure a tight fit, preventing leaks and maintaining high-performance fluid transfer in fuel lines, coolant hoses and other fluid transfer systems.
Why Choose Our Aluminium Olive Inserts?
-
Single-Use for Maximum Seal Integrity
Once fitted, the olive insert is compressed to create a secure seal. If a hose end is removed, a new olive must be used to ensure a proper, leak-free connection.
-
Precision Fit for PTFE Hoses
Designed specifically for use with braided PTFE hoses, these inserts are not required for braided rubber hoses or standard AN fittings.
-
Lightweight & Corrosion-Resistant
Manufactured from T6-6061 aluminium alloy, these inserts provide excellent strength and corrosion resistance without adding unnecessary weight.
-
High-Precision CNC Machining
Each insert is CNC-machined for a perfect fit, ensuring a secure and reliable connection when paired with PTFE swivel seal hose ends.
-
Hard-Anodised for Durability
A hard-anodised finish enhances durability, allowing these inserts to perform under extreme pressure and temperature conditions.
Why are PTFE Olive Inserts important?
Every time a PTFE hose end is removed, the existing olive insert is weakened due to the compression process. Reusing an old insert can compromise the seal, leading to potential leaks and reduced system reliability. Using a fresh PTFE olive insert ensures a secure, high-pressure connection every time.
Reliable, High-Performance Fluid Sealing
Whether you're upgrading a high-performance brake system, fuel setup, or hydraulic application, our PTFE olive inserts ensure leak-free, professional-grade results. Keep a pack handy for easy reassembly and peace of mind!
-
What are aluminium olive inserts for PTFE hoses used for?
Aluminium olive inserts are essential components used to create a secure, leak-free seal between PTFE hoses and their fittings. They are specifically designed for use with braided PTFE hoses in fuel, oil, coolant, and hydraulic systems.
-
Why must I replace the olive insert when reassembling a PTFE hose end?
Once installed, the olive insert is compressed to form a tight seal. If the hose end is removed, the original olive may not reseal effectively. Replacing it with a new insert ensures continued leak-free performance and system reliability.
-
Are these inserts compatible with rubber braided hoses?
No, these aluminium olive inserts are designed exclusively for use with braided PTFE hoses. They are not suitable for rubber braided hoses or standard AN fittings.
-
What sizes are available, and how are they packaged?
We offer aluminium olive inserts in the following AN sizes:
- AN6
- AN8
- AN10
Each size is sold in packs of 5, providing spares for maintenance and future reassembly needs.
-
What material are these inserts made from?
These inserts are CNC-machined from T6-6061 aluminium alloy and feature a hard-anodised finish. This construction offers excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and durability under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.
-
Are these inserts reusable?
No, aluminium olive inserts are single-use components. For optimal sealing performance and safety, a new insert should be used each time a PTFE hose end is reassembled.
