High-pressure hoses are used in some of the toughest applications, from oil and gas extraction to massive municipal sewer bypass projects on tight schedules. When the stakes are high and the margin for error is zero, you need reliable hose fittings equipment that can handle tremendous pressure without leaking or failing.
If you’re feeling the pressure (pun intended) to find the right fittings for your next job, don’t sweat it. Wolf Creek Portable Piping has you covered with our dependable WC crimp hose fittings.
Here’s what sets our WC crimp fittings apart:
Secure, Reliable Connections
Crimping is by far the most secure method to attach a hose to a fitting, and WC crimp hose fittings offer durability and safety for the ultimate peace of mind. Even in very high-pressure applications, the reliable crimp means the hose will not push off. The same cannot be said for simple rolled barb shank fittings, which will collapse under too much crimping force, guaranteeing failure in pressure applications.
Fabricated in-house, our crimp hose fittings have a heavy machine-barb shank wall reinforced with thick, high-grade steel and a large retention surface with many ridges or “teeth” that grab onto the hose. When attaching crimp fittings in hose manufacturing or fabrication facilities, a ferrule steel band is placed around the outside of the fitting and hydraulically pressed onto the hose itself to create a tight, leak-proof connection.
Suitable for High-Pressure Suction or Discharge Applications
When we say high pressure, we mean it. Our WC crimp hose sets are made to work for suction or pressure applications, with a pressure rating of up to 174 PSI.
Recognizing this unmatched reliability and versatility, many of our hose supplier customers are standardizing their hose inventory to only include crimpable hose fittings. Because the WC crimp fitting handles all applications, one hose type can satisfy all needs.
Fabricated with True Genuine Bauer Parts
WC crimp hose fittings are available in 4, 6, and 8-inch sizes, all featuring a Genuine Bauer end with a welded hinge pin design. This makes the lever stronger, more durable, and easier to open and close.
Meanwhile, generic ‘B’ type imitations use flimsy rivets and require a locking pin to stay closed. Over time, the B-type lever can become loose and less reliable — and that’s the last thing you want in a high-pressure application!
