Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Gates MegaCrimp™ couplings are designed with a unique 'C' insert that enhances performance by allowing compatibility with various hose constructions and wall thicknesses. This design ensures even distribution of crimping forces, forming a concentric seal and simplifying inventory requirements.

Features and Benefits
  • The 'bite-the-wire' design ensures high performance and risk-free hydraulic hose assembly.
  • Full-Torque Nut couplings are more durable than traditional staked nut fittings, reducing the risk of cracking from over-torquing.
  • MegaCrimp couplings are tested to one million impulse cycles, ensuring high performance and maximum service life.
  • Standard TuffCoat plating provides corrosion resistance, with TuffCoat Xtreme offering up to 840 hours of red rust resistance.

Design and Technology
  • The 'C' insert maintains its round shape during crimping, preventing the 'polygon effect' and potential leak paths.
  • Full-Torque Nut technology distributes stress forces evenly, reducing the risk of cracked nuts and leaks.
  • The 'Bite-the-Wire' design ensures maximum coupling retention.

Corrosion Resistance
  • TuffCoat plating resists red rust formation for 500 hours, exceeding the SAE J516 standard by 350%.
  • TuffCoat Xtreme offers 840 hours of resistance, ideal for corrosive environments like those with salt and liquid fertilizer.

MEGACRIMP™  COUPLINGS-1

WITH C-INSERT AND TUFFCOAT ™ PLATING MEGACRIMP COUPLINGS GIVE YOU A LEAK-PROOF SEAL THAT’S SO INNOVATIVE, IT’S PATENTED. It’s what’s inside the MegaCrimp coupling that makes it perform so well, the “C” insert. This “C” insert allows usage with different hose constructions and wall thicknesses. In addition, the C-insert ensures an even distribution of crimping forces to form a concentric seal. That simplifies your inventory requirements since one size can accommodate many different hose ODs, on both one- and two-wire braid hoses. An additional bonus: MegaCrimp couplings are fully qualified for SAE, EN, and ISO perfo

MEGACRIMP™  COUPLINGS-3

GATES BITE-THE-WIRE DESIGN One of the most common causes of hydraulic leaks is a cracked coupling nut or seat due to over-torquing. With Gates Full-Torque Nut couplings, a large holding shoulder evenly distributes stress forces at the nut for higher resistance against cracking, even when inadvertently over-torqued, for a stronger and more durable seal. Gates “Bite-the-Wire” design INCREASE EQUIPMENT UPTIME BY ELIMINATING DAMAGED COUPLINGS AND LEAKS FROM TOO MUCH TORQUE. ■ No installation leaks ■ Less time spent retightening connections The advanced design of the MegaCrimp tooth profile shown...

SALT SPRAY RESULTS EXCEEDS 840 HOURS OF RED RUST CORROSION RESISTANCE GATES TUFFCOAT TUFFCOAT All MegaCrimp couplings are protected, at the minimum, with TuffCoat plating. In salt spray tests according to ASTM B117 (ISO 9227), TuffCoat plating resists red rust formation for 500 hours. That’s nearly 350% greater than the SAE J516 144-hour standard. GATES TUFFCOAT TUFFCOAT XTREME ™ TuffCoat Xtreme offers an extra measure of protection – 840 hours of red rust corrosion resistance. That’s nearly six times the 144-hour SAE J516 standard. ■ For use in extremely corrosive environments, specifically...
