When you’re faced with heavy-duty, high-pressure suction and discharge applications, not just any hose connector will do. You need nothing less than the reliable strength and integrity of Wolf Creek’s crimped hose connector sets, built with the industry’s best fitting: Genuine Bauer.

Here’s when to choose our crimped hose connector sets:

When Pressure is High

Hose fittings that use a three-bead, rolled barb shank work well when clamped or banded in suction applications. However, these fittings are not intended for use on high-pressure discharge lines. When your suction and discharge applications push into higher pressure ranges, Wolf Creek’s crimped hose connector sets are the superior choice.

Unlike banded connectors, our crimped hose connectors feature a heavy-duty machine-barb shank wall reinforced with thick, high-grade steel and a large retention surface with many ridges. Our crimps are hydraulically pressed onto the hose itself to lock in a secure fit. That extra reinforcement provides priceless peace of mind even under extreme pressure.

When You Can’t Risk Leaks

At Wolf Creek, we offer one of the largest inventories of true Genuine Bauer fittings in North America. But why does it matter if you have a Bauer or a cheap imitation fitting?

Bauer fittings offer unmatched quality and durability, most notably in the lever mechanism. While imitation “B-style” fittings will use a locking pin to hold the fitting in place, true Genuine Bauer fittings feature a welded hinge-pinch design with a bull-nosed lever, which provides a virtually leak-proof connection. You don’t have to worry about flimsy rivets or the locking pin coming loose in high-pressure applications. Bottom line: if your fitting doesn’t have “BAUER” stamped on the handle, it’s not the real deal!

When You Need Versatile Solutions for Multiple Applications

If you regularly need hose fittings that can handle both suction and pressure conditions, Wolf Creek’s crimped hose connectors are the clear choice. With a WC Crimp hose fitting, one hose type can handle all applications — saving your team time and reducing the risk of pulling the wrong type of hose for the job.

P.S. Need Pre-Built Hoses Ready for High Pressure?

It’s important to note that you always need to match the pressure rating on your equipment to the lowest common denominator. Usually, that’s the hose itself.
