Q1: How do I select the right hydraulic fitting for my hose?
A: Choosing the correct fitting requires matching the hose's inner diameter (ID), the pressure rating, and the connection type (e.g., JIC, NPT, ORFS, BSP). For manufacturing equipment, we recommend ensuring the fitting material matches the application environment (e.g., carbon steel for standard use, stainless steel for corrosive environments).

For manufacturing equipment, we recommend ensuring the fitting material matches the application environment (e.g., carbon steel for standard applications, stainless steel for corrosive environments).
Q2: Does crimping compatibility vary with different fitting types?
A: Yes. Different fittings have different crimp diameters. When using MENSION crimping machines, always refer to our official die chart to ensure the fitting is compressed correctly, preventing both leakage and fitting pull-out.
Q3: How can I prevent hydraulic fitting pull-out?
A: Fitting pull-out is usually caused by improper crimping dimensions or incorrect skiving. We recommend using MENSION’s high-precision crimpers and following our recommended crimp diameter settings to ensure the fitting is securely locked into the hose structure. We recommend using MENSION's high-precision crimping pliers and operating with our recommended crimping diameter settings to ensure the fitting is securely secured within the hose structure.
Q4: Can MENSION machines handle both straight and elbow fittings?
A: Yes. Our MENSION MS-51 and P16HP series are designed to accommodate a wide variety of fitting configurations, including straight, 45-degree, and 90-degree elbows, provided the fitting profile fits within the crimping die opening.
Q4: Can MENSION machines process both straight and elbow fittings?
A: Yes. Our MENSION MS-51 and P16HP series are designed to accommodate a wide variety of fitting configurations, including straight, 45-degree, and 90-degree elbows, provided the fitting profile fits within the crimping die opening.
Q5: Should I use a specific fitting for high-pressure hydraulic lines?
A: For high-pressure lines, always use fittings rated to match or exceed the hose's maximum working pressure. Using a lower-rated fitting poses a serious safety risk. If you are unsure, our technical team can provide guidance on selecting the appropriate fitting for your specific pressure requirements.
Q: Is the MENSION P16HP suitable for on-site repairs? A: Yes. The P16HP is specifically engineered for field service. Its lightweight and manual operation design allows you to perform professional-grade hose crimping directly in the field, far from power sources or fixed workshops.
