Crimping field crimp style assemblies
Field crimp (barrel crimp) style hose assemblies were designed for “on location” repairs with a minimum of equipment. Skiving is not
required with field crimp fittings. The socket is pre-crimped to the nipple so the fitting can simply be pushed onto the hose and crimped.
When crimping field crimp style hose assemblies, special procedures must be followed when locating these assemblies in the crimp die
cage. The crimp socket has a line scribed near each end. The distance between the scribe lines is equal to the length of the crimp dies.
When crimped, the dies must be centered between the scribe lines. This can be done by aligning the face of either end of the crimp die
with the scribe line on that end of the socket (See Illustration).
Recalibration procedure
1. Insert an FT1307-200-8 crimp cage into the crimper and then crimp a 1401-16 socket using a setting of 920 on the digital encoder.
2. If a diameter of 1.483 + .003 is obtained, no further adjustments are necessary.
3. If a diameter of less than 1.483 is obtained, the transducer backstop must be moved toward the transducer. Consequently, if the
diameter is more than 1.483 the backstop must be moved away from the transducer.
4. The transducer backstop is located at the top left side of the crimper as shown on page 13, detail 19.
