Crimping is an important process that can make a major difference in the overall quality of an assembly. Hoses with fittings crimped to the ends will not leak, unlike banded or swaged assemblies.
Fugitt Rubber and Supplies offers a variety cleaning water jethose crimpers to meet your needs.
cleaning water Jet hose Quick connect couplings
Quick connect couplings, also known as sockets or QC fittings, are essential parts of any cleaning water jet system. These couplings make it easy to attach and remove your hose from your spray gun, pump, or any other equipment. They make it easier to move the extension wand or gun around with the hose.
Female QC connections have an o-ring on the male end that prevents leaks, and a ring or latch on the female end to hold them together. Most hoses today come with QC connections out of the box, so they’re an absolute must have in your toolkit.
You can choose from single or free flow stainless steel couplings (a valve is placed in the socket). They are suitable for low pressure hoses, nozzles, and other accessories for cleaning, spraying, and washing.
These brass and stainless-steel couplings can be used for hot and cold water, as well as water solutions and chemicals. They are available in both snap-type and screw-type connections and come in a variety of sizes. They are also made of nickel-plated brass for increased durability and wear resistance. They can be used in a variety industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals and industrial cleaning. They have a vibrating pulse that helps the hose slide through tight bends.
pros and cons of cleaning waterjet hose
Hydro-jetting is a process used to clean sewer and drain pipes. It is a highly effective way to remove grease, hair, minerals, and other clogs which can lead to major plumbing problems. It’s also environmentally friendly and non-invasive.
Crimpers are an essential part of any hose assembly. They crimp the end a hose to a fitting, a process that provides better retention than banding and swaged assemblies. They also ensure that a complete hose assembly is safe to handle, because a crimped sleeve or ferrule has a smooth finish that does not leave sharp edges on the end of the hose.
Another important consideration when using a hose crimper is to keep the nozzle moving as much as possible. If the nozzle stays stationary for too long, turbulence can cause vortices that can suck sand or dirt into the pipe. This can cause a plug and clog the hose.
Generally, a hose crimper is an expensive tool, but it can save you money in the long run if you use it to cut hoses instead of purchasing them individually. It is important to find the right hose crimper for your application and verify its crimping range, sleeve/ferrule thickness, before you buy it.
