I worked a year at a hydraulic hose shop while laid off from my present position.\
There is a huge amount to learn there, hose spec's, fitting types, etc.I absorbed a lot but only had a year, there is a huge amount more to learn/remember....one of the keys to each type of fitting is to look at where it seals, thread, conical metal to metal, elastic seal, etc. With older American automobiles, it's limited to only a few
different types of fitting sealing methods. It gets out of hand with big Foreign heavy equipment!

Study the brass cabinet at a parts store for common fitting types used, or an online catalog.
