Secure the die holders with tie down bars to prevent
the die holders from slipping out of the die bed
unexpectedly.
Ensuring that all of the jackscrews have been
threaded completely into the collar, install the collar
with jackscrews between the ferrule and the flange.
Position it so that the flat side of the collar is next to
the ferrule and the jackscrews are closest to the
flange lining up with the bolt holes. Secure both
collar halves with the “T” bolt.

Bring the hose with the stem and ferrule through the
die bed. Insert the stem into the pusher so that the
ferrule contacts the pusher. Make sure that there is
sufficient room between the die holders and the end
of the ferrule to comfortably insert the die halves into
the die holders.
Install the required die holders ensuring that the
seams between the die holder halves do not line up.
The die holders are designed to fit one inside the
other.
A guideline for selecting die holders is:
50TDH6003 1¼" - 3" I.D. hose
50TDH9004 4" I.D. hose
Caution! Never use a swaging die as a die holder!
