ARB Air Fittings

Do you reckon the air fittings simple unscrews from the end of the hoses?

Most do! Unless they are a crimp in which case there are no flats on the fitting!

Confirmed. The ARB air fittings have a male thread and screws into the end of the hose. Now to grab the SCA Blackridge hose.

The air fittings on the Blackridge hose are crimped on. It is also a bigger OD than the ARB orange hose.

I took apart the ARB fittings and it isn't a simple screw off fitting. The attachment to the hose is a combination of a nipple/barb and a screw on clamp nut. I'm not sure what this thread is yet.
Something like this


Due to the difference in hose OD between the Blackridge and ARB, I can't simply shift the ARB fittings over as the hose ID may not be the same, but the clamp nut won't fit over the Blackridge hose as the OD is bigger.
