Steps in Hose Assembly
8.
Place hose and fitting into the crimp machine. Crimp
ferrule to predetermined diameter. Refer to the
Continental ContiTech Crimp Specifications Manual
for proper crimp diameters and the crimper operator’s
manual for further instructions on how to properly and
safely operate the crimper.
9.
Remove assembled end and check crimp diameter
with caliper or micrometer. Crimp diameter should
be measured at the center of the ferrule. Measure the
smooth portion of the ferrule and not the ridges. Visually
check for cracked, cocked or damaged fittings.
7.
Before crimping hose fitting, verify the tooling setup
and install the proper die set. Read the Crimp Chart, per
Continental ContiTech recommendations, and dial in the
correct crimp diameter.
