Mix an Matching of Hydraulic Hose and Fittings is an age Old debate that has many truths as well as half truths. There are many factors to consider such as Fitting design, crimp specs., Rubber compounds and crimper modifications.

Everthing in this area falls into the category of the "Gray "area. Meaning it is neither Black or White, but gray.

  Listed below is the most important factor a general consumer needs to consider in our opinion when deciding to Mix and Match.

1} Are you willing to assume 100% responsibility for the hose assembly you are about to fabricate ?

No Mfr. of hose and fittings will support Mix and matching of different brands of hose and fittings. You are basicly on your own if a liability case is directed to you and your actions.

If you must Mix and Match please make sure you crimp the fitting to the Mfrs. original spec for their brand. Not to the specs for the crimper you own.
