Abstract

A cable connector attachment is provided, the attachment including at least a hose fitting, wherein said hose fitting is swedged into an associated cable and threaded into a CCP; and a set screw, wherein said set screw is inserted into the hose fitting to ensure the CCP cannot vibrate loose. Optimally the set screw is a tapered screw, so that greater force is applied to the terminus end. A braided hose is disposed in mechanical communication with a stainless hose fitting and secured using one or more fasteners. The hose is securely pressed completely inside the stainless hose fitting and then crimped, and a status signal is optimally provided by a crimp machine when a predefined crimp has been completed, thereby notifying the operator of such status. Optimally the crimp measures between about 1.1-about 1.2 inches.

Claims

1. A cable connector attachment, said attachment comprising:

a hose fitting, wherein said hose fitting is swedged into an associated cable and threaded into a CCP; and

a set screw, wherein said set screw is inserted into the hose fitting to ensure the CCP cannot vibrate loose.

2. The cable connector attachment of claim 1, wherein the set screw is a tapered screw, so that greater force is applied to the terminus end.

3. The cable connector attachment of claim 1, further comprising a braided hose disposed in mechanical communication with a stainless hose fitting.

4. The cable connector attachment of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of connector engaging nuts.

5. The cable connector attachment of claim 3, wherein the hose is securely pressed completely inside the stainless hose fitting and then crimped.

6. The cable connector attachment of claim 5, wherein a status signal is given by a crimp machine when a predefined crimp has been completed, thereby notifying an operator of such status.

7. The cable connector attachment of claim 6, wherein said crimp measures between about 1.1-about 1.2 inches.
