DON’T MIX AND MATCH!!!!! > One of the most important and often times overlooked factors in hydraulic hose assembly performance is the hose/coupling interface. > You can’t just design a hose. > You can’t just design a coupling. HOSE IMPULSE LIFE > You must design a system (a MegaSystem). Maximum Hose Impulse Life Hose Impulse Life Hose OD Crimp OD Variation from nominal Unless you have a hose and coupling specifically designed for each other, you may end up with a hose assembly with a lower pressure rating, reduced life, or even worse, a catastrophic failure.

SOLID, LEAK-FREE COUPLINGS The majority of hydraulic hose failures occur at the couplings due to blow-offs or leaks. Gates has designed and engineered innovative, robust couplings for MegaSys hose that provide connections you can count on for superior performance – guaranteed. MegaCrimp® Couplings G25 Key Features > Robust “bite-the-wire” crimp > Low profile > Full-stem insertion > Full-length crimp > Industry-leading tested-3x SAE Standard impulse cycles > Simplifies inventory management > Environmentally-friendly TuffCoat™ plating for 700 percent better corrosion resistance MegaCrimp -...

FULL-TORQUE NUT™ TECHNOLOGY Over-Torque Protection Robust swivel joint allows for maximum torque One of the most common causes of hydraulic leaks is a cracked coupling nut or seat due to over-torquing. Gates has engineered a solution – Full-Torque Nut technology which is standard on all MegaCrimp® and GlobalSpiral™ couplings. Up to 24,000 psi burst pressure (-16 size G6K) Full-Torque Nut couplings are stronger and more durable than traditional staked-nut fittings. A large holding shoulder evenly distributes stress forces at the nut for higher resistance against cracking, even when...
