The crimp recommendation charts are only guides. It will not apply to every coupling situation. In some instances alternative

dies and crimping dimensions must be employed to ensure safety. Experience has shown that variances in the construction of

similar hoses and couplings may cause some assemblies to react differently when crimped. It is not uncommon to find hose

with an outer diameter that fluctuates from one end to the other or from production lot to production lot. These inconsistencies

coupled with the inherent differences between textile or wire braid, hard or soft wall, the presence or absence of an internal spiral

wire and the differences in hose coverings make it difficult to establish hard and fast rules. Therefore, its imperative that hose

dimensions are accurately measured, assemblies are tested, and documentation is maintained.
