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

GATES MEGASYSMEGACRIMPCOUPLINGSWITH C-INSERT AND TUFFCOAT PLATING FEATURES + BENEFITS THE “C” INSERT STARTS ROUND, STAYS ROUND ■ The ‘bite-the-wire' design allows for coupling and hose retention to make a high performance, risk-free hydraulic hose assembly ■ Full-Torque Nut couplings are stronger and more durable than traditional staked nut fittings that are prone to cracking when over-torqued ■ The Full-Torque Nut transfers input-torque to clamp-load more consistently than staked nuts, minimizing leaks ■ MegaCrimp couplings allow you to simplify your inventory by carrying one family of couplings...

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...
