To ensure connectors perform reliably for their full lifespan, we recommend the following best practices:

  • Use the Right Equipment: Always use certified, high-quality connectors and the corresponding hydraulic crimping tools and dies as specified by the manufacturer.

  • Proper Training: Ensure all technicians are fully trained in the correct installation procedures.

  • Regular Inspections: Implement a program of regular inspections, using tools like thermal imaging cameras, to detect early signs of overheating at connection points.

  • Preventative Maintenance: Address any signs of corrosion or damage immediately to prevent catastrophic failure. Our range of maintenance tools and accessories are designed to assist with all aspects of this work.
