CRIMPER SAFETY
An incorrect hose assembly can rupture or blow apart in use, resulting in serious injury, death, or
property damage.
REMEMBER: Others depend on you to make correct assemblies.
Hose Assembly Fabrication.
› Component Inspection: Before creating an assembly be sure to inspect all components to
be sure they are correct product, cut correctly, and do not have any visually identifiable
defects.
› Couplings (compatibility): Hose fitting components from one manufacturer are not usually
compatible with fitting components supplied by another manufacturer. Never mix and
match hose couplings from different manufacturers unless approved by both parties.
› Hose assembly equipment (crimpers): Hoses and fittings from one manufacturer should
not generally be assembled with the equipment of another manufacturer.
NOTE: Gates recommends only those hose and coupling combinations specified in the Gates
Hydraulic Product catalogs. Gates disclaims any liability for any hose assemblies which have not been
produced in conformance with Gates assembly recommendations.
