I was putting together a Tippmann 98 last night and when I went to install the airline I was turning it at the ASA and to my surprise the hose turned between the wrench flats and the crimp on the valve side. That hose ended up having a leak, so I tried again with another hose and it did the same thing. Is this a feature that I've just never known about, or a defect/oddity? Both hoses ended up leaking (not sure exactly where from), is this something that could have damaged them?

Braided Hose Swiveling at the Crimp?

There are braided hose fittings that are able to swivel. I used to make them up but they tend to have higher failure rates then fixed fittings so I only did them when it was necessary for building a compressed gas setup (I used to build pneumatic test stands as part of my work).
