Parker KarryKrimp ferrules

[scottmk1]

I've just aquired a Parker KarryKrimp swager for making up my own hydraulic hoses. Do I need to use any particular type of hose and fittings/ferrules or are they universal?

You need to use Parker 1 piece fittings that are compatible with the carry crimp.

Cheers, I will have a google for them.

Most, if not all agricultural engineers will stock them.

Do they have to be parker??

 

[scottmk1]

I'm not sure if they need to be Parker or if they can be another brand. I've just acquired the karrykrimp & I've never used one before.

I also have a Parker KaryKrimp. Although I've used a few Parker fittings, I now use generic two part ones. However a HUGE caveat. I am NOT doing it commercially. I ONLY make hoses for my own machines. I am the ONLY person to use my machines (JCB803 / Thwaites Dumper and a couple of tractors). NO ONE ELSE is involved anywhere near my machines. They only work on my own land.

Why all that - well in these litigious days any hose failure resulting in an injury would be a legal nightmare.

Me too, I wont be doing hoses for anyone else, only for my own projects.
