Couplings

Your hydraulic system wouldn't be complete without couplings. If you don't find exactly what you need here, Gates can design and manufacture custom couplings for your application.

  • MegaCrimp®: The versatile, weep-free coupling for wire-braid hose has a patented "C" insert that stays round like the hose, so there's no polygon effect. Plus, one size accommodates many different hose ODs, simplifying your inventory.

  • GlobalSpiral®: Used for all Gates high-pressure spiral wire hoses with ratings from 3,000 to 6,000 psi, its no-skive permanent coupling design reduces labor, assembly time, errors and contamination from rubber dust.

  • Full-Torque Nut™: Available on MegaCrimp® and GlobalSpiral® couplings, it shows unsurpassed resistance to over-torquing and cracking for increased productivity and uptime. And TuffCoat plating offers supreme corrosion resistance.

  • Quick-Lok™: Cut costs with these threadless couplings designed for compact, power-intensive machines. They go together fast and stay together with no leaks. For more information download the Quick-Lok Design Guide.

Be sure to download the Full-Torque Nut Brochure to crack down on nut cracking, seat damage, leaks, corrosion and premature coupling failure.
