Megacrimp couplings feature exclusive TuffCoat plating. Nothing is better than TuffCoat plating from Gates. This innovative technique gives MegaCrimp couplings four times more corrosion resistance than before. That's 400 hours of red rust corrosion protection when subjected to rigorous SAE-J516 and ASTMP-117 salt-spray conditions. This 500+% improvement over the 72-hour SAE standard proves Gates not only raised the bar on corrosion resistance, they've set the standard.

Gates Tuff Coat Images taken at random stages of salt spray testing show that Gates Tuff Coat plating significantly outperforms competitive products in its ability to protect against red corrosion. Note: the white seen on the couplings is salt residue which is not corrosive. MegaCrimp couplings give you a leak-proof seal that's so innovative, it's patented *. In fact, it surpassed one million impulse cycles during design testing. * U.P. Patent #5267758

Key Coupling Characteristics It's what's inside the MegaCrimp coupling that makes it perform so well. The same "C" insert can be used on hoses with different constructions and wall thicknesses. In addition, the "C" insert assures an even distribution of crimping forces to form a concentric seal. That simplifies your inventory requirements since one size of MegaCrimp coupling can accommodate many different hose ODs, and on both one and two-wire hoses. An additional bonus: MegaCrimp couplings are a fully qualified EN-performance coupling. MegaCrimp couplings set a new standard for hydraulic couplings. The unique "C" insert ensures "weep-free" concentric crimping to keep equipment and the environment clean. Robust "bite-the-wire" crimp Versatile Low profile Full length crimp 500% better corrosion resistance
