Abstract
An apparatus for crimping a fitting onto a hose end is described of the type having radially directed crimping dies and an associated camming surface, and a ram piston for moving the dies relative to the camming surface causing the dies to displace radially inwardly to effect crimping. A depth stop locating subassembly includes an inner platform on which the hose fitting is placed, an axially adjustable outer platform comovable with the inner platform, and a locator mounted adjacent the outer platform establishing a locating position preselected relative to the crimping dies, to ensure proper depth of crimping by aligning the locator with a gauge element disposed on the outer platform.
