D100 SERIES HOSE CRIMPING
 
 

Position the dies in the crimper as shown making certain that
the die rings set squarely on the pressure plate and that the die ring
halves do not overlap each other.
    
Align the hose and fitting in the die set and place the
Compression Ring loosely over the die set. Manually depress the
compression ring until the fitting is held loosely in the die set.
 
 

Select the proper crimp setting from the Crimp Specification
chart and set the Micro Crimp adjuster at the setting recommended.
Note: Each die set has a limited range of diameters for which a
satisfactory crimp can be obtained. As a “rule of thumb” a standard
die set can crimp 3 mm (.120 inches) above the closed diameter etched
on the die ring. Always consult the hose and fitting manufacturer’s
recommendation for the correct die set to use.
