DESCRIPTION 

 

 

WARNING

Any other use is forbidden. 

 

 

The GB568 and the GB568A are hydraulic installation tools designed specifically for the efficient installation of HUCKRIMP® (krimpnuts) 

with a crimping action that deforms the nut to provide accurate installation loads. They weigh just over 2.5 lbs. (1.13kg) and can be operated 

in any position. They have up to a 

.300” (7.6 

mm) fastener setting stroke and a rated pull load of 5,940 lbs. (26.4 kN). 

 

 

The GB568 installation tool operates on hydraulic pressure developed by a Powerunit set at 6,000 psi. (414.0 bar) maximum PULL 

pressure. The tool comes equipped with a 12 feet (3.65 m) of hydraulic hose with quick disconnects and a electric control cord assembly. 

 

 

The GB568A installation tool operates on hydraulic pressure developed by the GB910 & GB912 Powerunits set at 6,000 psi. (414.0 bar) 

maximum PULL pressure. The tool comes equipped with a 12 feet (3.65 m) of hydraulic hose with quick disconnects and an air line 

assembly.

 

 

NOSE ASSEMBLIES ARE NOT FURNISHED WITH THE TOOL AND MUST BE ORDERED SEPARATELY. (See nose assembly selection 

chart on pg. 14).
