KWIKRIMP® CONCEPT
THE KWIKRIMP® CONCEPT IS AN ENGINEERED PROGRAM, DESIGNED TO
INCORPORATE DAYCO HOSE, FITTINGS AND CRIMPERS INTO ONE EFFECTIVE AND
RELIABLE HOSE ASSEMBLY SYSTEM.
The Kwikrimp® Concept is an affirmation to all Dayco Distributors, OEMs and users of the
Kwikrimp® system that Dayco will support only those who use Dayco hose and couplings in the
Kwikrimp® assembly system. However, the Kwikrimp® Concept is also a statement that serves to
warn that Dayco will not be responsible when interchanging a Dayco hose and/or couplings with
hose and/or couplings of any other manufacturer. Dayco products are part of an engineered
system, which must be assembled and used in accordance with Dayco instructions and limitations.
Dayco hose, couplings and crimping machines are designed into an effective and reliable assembly
system and the use of other than Dayco products may produce hose assemblies that will not meet
rated performance. Failure to follow Dayco instructions and limitations could lead to premature
hose failures resulting in property damage, serious injury or death.
Dayco’s limited warranty shall apply only if the customer uses hose, fittings, hose fitting
components and crimp equipment specifically engineered, designed and produced to Dayco
process specifications.
DAYCO DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY CRIMPED HOSE
ASSEMBLIES NOT PRODUCED FROM GENUINE DAYCO HOSE FITTINGS, HOSE AND
EQUIPMENT, IN CONFORMANCE WITH DAYCO PROCESS SPECIFICATIONS FOR EACH
SPECIFIC HOSE ASSEMBLY.
The argument that hoses branded with identical SAE numbers are the same and can be
interchanged with Dayco couplings is not true! Hose with identical brand can be expected to
perform only to the requirements of SAE when assembled with compatible couplings. SAE
recognizes this fact as shown by the following statement taken from the 1998 SAE Handbook,
J1273, Volume 2, and page 22.198.
3.10 Proper End Fitting – Care must be taken to insure proper compatibility exists between
the hose and coupling selected based on the manufacturer’s recommendations substantiated by
testing to industry standards such as SAE J517.
All Dayco distributors, OEMs and Kwikrimp® users must recognize that the following points are
critical when considering any and all aspects of the Kwikrimp® program.
1. The data supplied with each Crimper was developed after extensive impulse testing with
Dayco hose and couplings. All Dayco hose styles are tested with the proper Kwikrimp® couplings
before they are added to the Dayco Approved List. Dayco is constantly checking and upgrading
hose quality.
2. Dayco Kwikrimp® data does not apply to all hose and couplings, only those products
bearing the Dayco identification with the proper Dayco catalog number.
Dayco couplings used with other than Dayco branded hose will not necessarily produce a good
assembly. Identical hose styles, made by different suppliers, are not the same when it comes to
performance with Dayco couplings.
