Hose Preparation Instructions Barrel and Flat Field Crimp Style Fittings
Select a matching hose and fitting combination from the current Aeroquip catalog.
Step 1: Cut the Hose Cut the hose squarely and to the proper length using a suitable cut off saw. The cut angle must not exceed 5°. Aeroquip recommends using saws similar to the S1104. Read the saw operation manual for cutting instructions and blade applications.
Step 4: Crimp the Fitting Crimp the fitting then measure the crimp diameter, ovality dimension (see page 2) and inspect the nipple/socket position. Refer to the Crimp Specification bulletin for this information. If the hose mark is not within 3mm (1/8�) of the socket skirt reject the assembly.
Step 2: Clean the Hose Bore
Step 3: Insert the Fitting into the Hose
Using the FT1355-01 Jetcleaner or hose compatible solvent, bottle brush, and compressed air, flush contaminants from the hose bore. See operating instructions for the FT1355-01. Follow shop safety rules.
Insert the fitting into hose until the nipple shoulder bottoms against the hose. Mark the hose where the socket ends with a grease pencil.
Refer to your hose in the Hose Style Index for die selection, finished crimp diameter, ovality measurements and operating and crimping instructions. Measure Barrell crimp with Aeroquip calidapter (FT1297) and dial calipers or use a thread micrometer. Flat Field measurement does not require calidapters.
Step 5: Plug or Cap the Fitting Ends Use 23055 dust plugs and caps to protect the fitting threads and seal out contamination until hose assembly is installed.
