Clean, economical, and secure. Crimping is the compressing of a ferrule down onto the hose and squeezing it against the internal hose barb. It creates a consistant seal along the fitting and hose, greatly reduces any opportunity for sediment to gather inside the hose and fitting connection and also provides for excellent flow rates.
*To save the cost of a new end fitting, in the event of a hose failure, (if a two-piece fitting is used – non 3-A) it may be possible to cut off the ferrule and re-use the end fitting by crimping a new ferrule.*
