Crimping Tools for Press-Connect Fittings for Copper Tubing
Create a leak-tight seal without using heat or solder. Slide copper tubing into a press-connect fitting and use these tools to crimp the connection.
Crimping tools seal the fitting in less than five seconds. Lightweight and cordless, you can take these tools to any job. Access your connection from any angle using the pivoting head.
Crimping tools come with two 2.5-amp-hrs.-capacity batteries. Upgrade to a 5-amp-hrs.-capacity battery for over 500 crimps per charge.
Jaws fit directly into a crimping tool to clamp copper tube sizes 1/2 to 2.
Copper tube size is the accepted designation of the copper tubing industry, not the actual tube OD.
Use rings for copper tube sizes 2 1/2 to 4. Clip the ring around the fitting and use the included ring actuator jaw and crimping tool (sold separately) to press the open ends together.
Copper tube size is the accepted designation of the copper tubing industry, not the actual tube OD.

Crimping Tools for Barbed Tube Fittings for Drinking Water
Use these tools with a crimping ring (sold separately) to connect barbed tube fittings for drinking water to tubing. Compatible with Viega PEX fittings.
Hose-Crimping Pliers
As you squeeze the handles, the vise-like jaws lock tightly onto the ferrule to secure barbed fittings onto your hose. To select the correct pliers, measure the hose OD and select the next larger size "For Hose OD" below.

Lever-Operated Crimpers with Dies
Crimpers are furnished with five removable dies that crimp air and water hose. Place your hose, ferrule, and barbed fitting into a die that's inserted in the crimper. Press the lever to crimp the fitting onto the hose. Fasteners not included. Hose OD compatibility is measured without the fittings installed.
Individual dies (sold separately) allow you to crimp sizes of air and water hose from 0.385" to 0.843" OD.
Lever-Operated Crimpers
Place your hose, ferrule, and barbed fitting into a die that's inserted in the crimper. Press the lever to crimp the fitting onto the hose. Use with aluminum or brass ferrules. Fasteners not included.
Individual dies (sold separately) allow you to crimp large sizes of air and water hose from 3/4" to 1 3/8" OD (measured without the fittings installed).

Crimping Tools for Low-Pressure Press-Connect Unthreaded Pipe Fittings
Seal press-connect fittings onto steel and stainless steel pipe without threading or welding. Slide the tubing into a fitting and use these tools to crimp the connection. Compatible with Viega MegaPress fittings.
Jaw and ring sets include three jaws, three rings, and one ring actuator jaw. Jaws are for pipe sizes 1/2 to 1; they fit directly into the crimping tool. Rings are for pipe sizes 1 1/4 to 2; clip the ring around the fitting and use the ring actuator jaw and crimping tool to press the open ends together.
Crimping tools seal the fitting in less than five seconds. The long-lasting battery powers the tool for more than 400 crimps per charge. Lightweight and cordless, you can take these tools to any job. Access your connection from any angle using the pivoting head.
Hose Crimping Tool and Fitting Sets for Compressed Gas
Sets contain a crimping tool and a variety of fittings, nuts, and ferrules so you can connect pressure regulators, torches, and other components of your welding system. Fittings are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) fittings. They are brass for good corrosion resistance.
Barbed adapters let you adapt to a threaded end so you can connect welding hose to pressure regulators or torches. They consist of a barbed shaft with a rounded end that sits inside a threaded nut so you can make a threaded hose connection.
Barbed connectors are also known as hose menders and splicers. Use them to connect lengths of hose or to repair damaged hose. Slide the barbed end into welding hose and use a hose ferrule and the crimping tool to secure the fitting to hose.
Threaded connectors let you attach threaded welding hose to pressure regulators and torches.
Fittings with left-hand threads are identified with a notch in the nut.
Note: Fittings have a CGA number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a fitting with the same CGA number as your tank and other system components.

Crimping Tools for Hydraulic Hose Fittings
Permanently seal a crimp-on fitting onto your hydraulic hose to create a leak-tight connection. Bring these crimpers with you to put together hose assemblies on the spot—no need to lug hoses back to your shop. Made in the U.S., these tools are compatible with a wide range of Parker hoses and fittings. Slide your hydraulic hose fully into the crimp-on fitting and use these tools to crimp the connection.
Manual crimping tools are powered by a hand pump. Insert your hose and fitting and manually pump until the die ring touches the base plate.
Air-powered crimping tools don’t require any pumping but do require a compressed air line. Insert your hose and fitting and pull the activation lever until the die ring touches the base plate.
Dies are required to crimp. Choose one that matches your hose diameter and hose fitting series. They’re color coded, so they’re easy to tell apart.
