blocked hose

I just bought some hose and when I hooked it up for use, it would not flow. My skid works fine with my other hoses, so I know it is the hose. Any ideas on how to correct this problem, or should I just send it back for a new one?

Sometimes they will over crimp high pressure hose and it will restrict the opening and sometimes even close it off. Try blowing in the hose with your mouth. If you can't then you have two options(1 Send it back (2 Take it to a local hose company that does hydrolic hoses and have them put new ends on it.
 
Thanks for the reply Wiz. I called the company and got a discount, on the hose and will get it fixed locally, if needed. I ended up drilling out the obstruction, since it was the crimping that was the problem but have not tested it yet. Will see if that works before getting a new end on it.
