OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DOUBLE ANGLE DIES
SC32 DA Double Angle Dies
Double Angle dies effectively double the
force of the crimper thus larger
fi
ttings
can be crimped than would be possible
with conventional dies. The trade off
is that the diameter range that can be
crimped with a given die is more limited
than with a conventional die.
Use only the dies speci
fi
ed in the Gates
Crimp Speci
fi
cations for a given combi-
nation of hose and
fi
tting.
1
Remove the standard Pressure Plate by
loosening the set screw holding it in place.
The set screw is located through the hole in
the Hand Hazard Decal. A 1/8 inch hex key
wrench is required.
2
Install the Double Angle Base Ring
making certain that the bottom
fl
ange is
clean and free of debris and that the base
ring seats
fi
rmly and squarely in the bottom
fl
ange.
3
Select the correct Double Angle Die for
the hose and
fi
tting combination being
crimped. Lubricate the I D of the Bottom
Base Ring and the top Compression Ring
with a high quality moly-disul
fi
de grease .
Molykote “G” is recommended.
4
Place the top Compression Ring
squarely on top of the Double Angle Die
set.
5
Insert the Hose and
fi
tting from the bottom
of the crimper.
Note: In order to avoid taper in the
fi
nal
crimp, the
fi
tting should be centered
vertically in the die set.
6
Adjust the Dial Vernier to the setting
obtained from the Gates Manual.
Note that
for Double Angle Dies settings greater
than 16 are above the zero due to the
special calibration factors for Double
Angle Dies.
7
Install the Pusher on the ram if it has
been removed and press and hold the
pneumatic start/stop switch until the
motor shuts off and the ram retracts.
8
Always measure the
fi
nished crimp
diameter to be certain that it is within the
Gates speci
fi
cation.
