No-skive coupling reduces assembly time

GlobalSpiral hydraulic coupling does not require skiving of high pressure, spiral wire hose, which reduces assembly time, labor, fabrication errors, and contamination of the fluid power system.

GlobalSpiral hydraulic coupling does not require skiving of high pressure, spiral wire hose, which reduces assembly time, labor, fabrication errors, and contamination of the fluid power system. The no-skive feature is a result of a design improvement of the ferrule, which has longer teeth to provide a more positive, penetrating grip of the wire reinforcement that prevents hose assembly failure due to coupling blow-off.
