Gates GlobalSpiral hydraulc couplings

Gates now offers a flexible solution that is compatible with a broad range of wire-braid hydraulic hose. GlobalSpiral ferrules are a money-saving solution for those who crimp their own assemblies in the field or in the shop and, due to remoteness of location, cost-associated inventory limitations, or both, may not have access to a full inventory of couplings for both wire-braid and spiral-wire hoses. Six GlobalSpiral ferrules will do the job of 143 wire-braid couplings.

The Gates GlobalSpiral couplings are claimed to reduce costs and simplify operations as they are compatible with wire-braid and spiral-wire hydraulic hose assemblies. This line of couplings will give those who crimp their own assemblies the ability to assemble them not only with Gates spiral-wire line of hoses, but with their full line of wire-braided hoses as well.

These durable, two-piece couplings have been designed and validated with Gates’ production hoses in order to offer the optimal hose/coupling interface across all sizes and hose/coupling types. Validation testing has been conducted in accordance with SAE J517 specifications and requirements.

‘Bite the wire’ crimp design improves coupling retention and blow-off prevention and the machined Full-Torque Nut technology eliminates damaged couplings and leaks due to over-torquing.
