Gates® MegaCrimp™ couplings are designed for use with Gates® wire braid hydraulic hoses to create a robust, leak-free assembly. The pre-assembled coupling is designed with a patented "C" insert attached to the ferrule. This design ensures that crimping forces are evenly distributed to form a concentric, leak-free seal. One MegaCrimp™ coupling size can accommodate various one-and two-wire braid hydraulic hoses of different constructions and wall thicknesses, simplifying inventory requirements, helping to reduce costs and simplifying coupling selection.
