Crimp Recommendations
The crimp recommendation charts on pages 855-870 are only guides. It will not apply to every coupling situation. In some
instances alternative dies and crimping dimensions must be employed to ensure safety. Experience has shown that variances
in the construction of similar hoses and couplings may cause some assemblies to react differently when crimped. It is not
uncommon to find hose with an outer diameter that fluctuates from one end to the other or from production lot to production
lot. These inconsistencies coupled with the inherent differences between textile or wire braid, hard or soft wall, the presence
or absence of an internal spiral wire and the differences in hose coverings make it difficult to establish hard and fast rules.
Therefore, its imperative that hose dimensions are accurately measured, assemblies are tested, and documentation is
maintained.
