Abstract
Abstract This disclosure relates to apparatus and method for forming a hose and fitting assembly. The fitting comprises a nipple and a socket. One end of the nipple is inserted into the end of a length of hose and the other end of the nipple is attachable to another part such as a swivel connector. The socket is mounted around the nipple and the end of the hose, and the socket is crimped. A first part of the socket is crimped into engagement with the hose, a second part is crimped into direct engagement with the nipple, and a third part of the socket is crimped to form wrench flats. The apparatus for assembling the hose and fitting comprises a die set and a mechanism for forcing the dies of the set against the socket. Each die comprises first, second and third parts which respectively engage and crimp the first, second and third parts of the socket.
