IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING MICROMETER GAUGE ADJUSTMENTS:
Due to the same reasons as described above, finished crimp diameters may not match Kurt Hydraulics
recommended gauge settings. Published micrometer gauge settings are provided only as guidelines.
To correct for slight variances, the micrometer gauge setting may be adjusted only for individual hose
and coupling combinations when all other hose and coupling combinations crimp within allowed
tolerance from the Kurt Hydraulics specification. If all hose and coupling combinations crimp out of
specification, then the crimper must be recalibrated by using steps 1-5 mentioned above.
Each number on the micrometer gauge translates to
approximately .005” change in final crimp diameter.
For very fine-tuning, the micrometer is infinitely
adjustable and may be set between whole gauge
numbers for more precise crimping.
Higher gauge settings will produce a tighter, or
smaller crimp diameter.
Lower gauge settings will produce a looser, or larger
crimp diameter.
Be certain to record any micrometer gauge
adjustments for future reference.
