Introduction
pressure and design factor of the hose. After
testing, qualifed crimp specifcations are entered
onto CrimpSource™, a real-time online database
accessible through www.safehose.com. As new
hoses are added to the product offering and tested
and qualifed, CrimpSource is updated with the
appropriate hose assembly specifcations. Additional
crimp specifcations are established based upon an
easy distributor-request procedure, also accessible
through CrimpSource.
Parker Certifed Hose Assembly
Fabricators
Some industrial hoses, due to the inherently
dangerous nature of the media—or the distributor
experience and expertise required—are available
in bulk only to select distributors. As part of our
commitment to safety, Parker has established
Cer tified Hose Assembly Fabr icator (CHAF)
programs for these products. Parker CHAFs
must undergo rigorous training, maintain detailed
documentation, submit to regular audits by Parker
and invest in appropriate assembly equipment
and inventories. Parker CHAF classifcations are
currently established for Aircraft Fueling Hose,
Anhydrous Ammonia Hose and Composite Hose.
Distributors interested in participation are requested
to contact Parker.
NOTE: Factory assemblies are available fromParker
for aircraft fueling and composite hose, but not
anhydrous ammonia hose.
