CC15
Service Hose Crimper
7
CALIBRATION CHECK:
While the CC15 Crimper is calibrated at the factory prior to shipment, a calibration check is recommended prior to
using the crimper. Select a typical hose and fitting and set the CC15 micrometer to the hose and fitting manufacturer’s
recommendation. Insert the hose and fitting and press and hold the Start/Stop switch until the crimper shuts off. Measure
the finished crimp. If the finished crimp diameter is not within the hose manufacturers specifications, recalibrate the
crimper.
Note: Due to variations in hose and fitting tolerances, some “offset” may required to achieve the correct crimp
diameter for specific hose and fitting combinations across the range of hose and fittings being crimped. If crimp
diameters are consistently too large or consistently too small, the crimper should be recalibrated.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
CALIBRATION:
While the crimper can be calibrated using any recommended hose and
fitting combination, using a hose and fitting combination close to the
size most frequently crimped will minimize the offset required for other
sizes and combinations of hose and fittings.
•
Select a hose and fitting combination recommended by the hose
manufacturer and continue to adjust the Crimp Adjustment Micrometer
until the correct measured crimp diameter is achieved.
For example, if there is a 10mm die set in the crimper and the required
crimp diameter is 12.5mm the micrometer would be set to crimp at
10mm + 2.5mm or 12.5mm.
Note: The number on the Crimp Adjustment Micrometer
may not agree with the hose manufacturers specification
at this point.
•
If necessary, loosen the set screw on the knob with a .050 hex key
wrench and rotate the knob until the setting on the knob matches the
actual diameter of the finished crimp.
•
Tighten the set screw
•
Calibration is now complete
