OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DOUBLE ANGLE DIES
SC32 DA Double Angle Dies
Double Angle dies effectively double the
force of the crimper thus larger fittings
can be crimped than would be possible
with conventional dies. The trade off
is that the diameter range that can be
crimped with a given die is more limited
than with a conventional die.
Use only the dies specified in the Gates
Crimp Specifications for a given combi-
nation of hose and fitting.
1Remove the standard Pressure Plate by
loosening the set screw holding it in place.
The set screw is located through the hole in
the Hand Hazard Decal. A 1/8 inch hex key
wrench is required.
2Install the Double Angle Base Ring
making certain that the bottom flange is
clean and free of debris and that the base
ring seats firmly and squarely in the bottom
flange.
3Select the correct Double Angle Die for
the hose and fitting combination being
crimped. Lubricate the I D of the Bottom
Base Ring and the top Compression Ring
with a high quality moly-disulfide grease .
Molykote “G” is recommended.
4Place the top Compression Ring
squarely on top of the Double Angle Die
set.
5Insert the Hose and fitting from the bottom
of the crimper.
Note: In order to avoid taper in the final
crimp, the fitting should be centered
vertically in the die set.
6Adjust the Dial Vernier to the setting
obtained from the Gates Manual. Note that
for Double Angle Dies settings greater
than 16 are above the zero due to the
special calibration factors for Double
Angle Dies.
7Install the Pusher on the ram if it has
been removed and press and hold the
pneumatic start/stop switch until the
motor shuts off and the ram retracts.
8Always measure the finished crimp
diameter to be certain that it is within the
Gates specification.
