The 318A221-14 is an Aluminum Crimp Sleeve built to a 2-1/4 inch nominal size. This crimp sleeve provides the mechanical retention that keeps a hose end attached under pressure.
Aluminum is specified here for economical cost per connection and high strength-to-weight ratio that eases handling of large sizes. The material holds up against weathering, general atmospheric corrosion, and many petroleum products. Exposure to prolonged salt water immersion or galvanic pairing with dissimilar metals will shorten service life.
Common environments for this compound include tank truck and bulk transfer, construction and dewatering, and petroleum transfer.
318A221-14 ships individually. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation. Not finding the exact configuration you need? APG cross-references from prints, samples and competitor part numbers.
