2022 PRODUCTS CATALOG - INDUSTRIAL HOSE, COUPLINGS AND EQUIPMENT

GATES AUTHORIZED E2E DISTRIBUTORS Industrial hose applications become more demanding every day. New rubber compounds, higher working pressures and temperatures, stricter environmental and safety regulations – all make hose and coupling selection a challenge. The traditional industry practice of mixing and matching hoses and fittings from different manufacturers carries greater risk than ever. Poor quality or incorrectly fabricated hose assemblies cause equipment damage, lost productivity, personal injury, or worse. GATES E2E (END-TO-END) ENGINEERED SYSTEM AND DISTRIBUTOR PARTNERSHIP To mitigate risk and improve the reliability of industrial hose products, Gates developed its E2E integrated system of hoses and fittings and a partnership with specially qualified fabricators. Gates E2E system includes highly engineered, application-specific industrial hoses, fittings designed to match, and precise assembly procedures with up-to-the-minute Gates crimp specifications. Gates Authorized E2E Distributors are uniquely qualified to implement Gates E2E system. Their personnel have been trained and certified at the Gates Customer Solutions Center. In addition, they adhere to hose assembly guidelines established by NAHAD (The Association for Hose and Accessories Distribution). TESTING AND CERTIFICATION To ensure crimp integrity and reliability, all assemblies are tested to the rated proof pressure of the hose and accompanied by test certificates. Additional hydrostatic testing or electrical conductivity testing may be carried out as required. Testing is done in accordance with ARPM (Association for Rubber Products Manufacturers) recommended methods.
