15504SS Die Set (P/N 15504SS) Buyer's Guide for Singapore
Table of Contentsexpand_more
The 15504SS Die Set (P/N 15504SS) is a crimp die set for hydraulic hose assembly work: it is the tooling that presses a fitting onto a hose end to a controlled diameter. Buyers in Singapore should confirm three things before ordering — the crimping machine model, the hose bore, and the wire construction (1-wire, 2-wire or 4-spiral).
What is a crimp die set and what does it do?
A crimp die set is a matched group of die segments that closes around a hose fitting and swages it onto the hose. The die set controls the finished crimp diameter, so the same hose and fitting combination produces the same joint every time.
In Aeroquip tooling, dies are commonly colour-coded — Black, Blue, Orange, Red and Yellow — so a technician can pick the right segment quickly on a busy shop floor. That matters in Singapore maintenance workshops where a single bench may run several hose sizes in one shift.
Quotable definition
A crimp die set is a matched set of die segments used with a hydraulic hose crimping machine to compress a fitting onto a hose end to a controlled diameter. Correct die selection depends on hose bore, wire construction and the crimping machine model, and determines the repeatability of the finished hose assembly.
How does a crimp die set work?
The die segments sit in the crimping machine's head and close radially when the machine is actuated. The machine pushes the die segments inward until the fitting reaches the target crimp diameter, then releases.
Because the die set — not the operator — sets the final diameter, die condition and correct selection are the main variables. A worn or mismatched die set shows up as inconsistent crimp diameters, fitting pull-off or hose damage at the ferrule.
15504SS Die Set specifications at a glance
The table below summarises the measurable attributes that appear in the Aeroquip die and tooling data available to 3G Electric. Where a value is not published for a specific part number, confirm it against the machine and hose datasheet before ordering.
| Attribute | Value / range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Product type | Aeroquip Dies & Die Sets | Crimp tooling for hydraulic hose assemblies |
| Hose constructions supported (die package) | 1-wire and 2-wire | Per Aeroquip die tool package data |
| Maximum capacity (die package) | 1 1/4 in | Hose assembly outside diameter limit |
| Maximum capacity (ET4001 tooling package) | 2 in | 1–2 wire and 4-spiral constructions |
| Die identification | Colour-coded: Black, Blue, Orange, Red, Yellow | Quick selection on the shop floor |
| Machine compatibility (tooling package) | ET4001 hydraulic hose crimping machine | Package includes ET4001-015CSA specification |
| Power supply context (Singapore) | 230 V / 50 Hz single-phase; 400 V / 50 Hz three-phase | Confirm machine nameplate before installation |
Which die set suits which hose and machine?
Selection starts with the machine, not the die. A die package built for the ET4001 machine will not fit a different crimper, and a package rated to 2 in will not substitute for a 1 1/4 in package where the machine head is smaller.
Next, match the hose. A 1-wire hose and a 4-spiral hose of the same bore need different crimp diameters, so the die set must match the construction as well as the size. Aeroquip's colour coding helps here: the same colour always maps to the same die size within a family.
Types and applications in Singapore
- 1-wire die sets — general hydraulic maintenance, workshop hose repair, low-pressure return lines.
- 2-wire die sets — mobile equipment, marine deck machinery and offshore support vessel systems where higher pressure ratings are needed.
- 4-spiral tooling packages — high-pressure applications on the ET4001 machine, up to 2 in.
- Colour-coded multi-die packages — workshops that terminate several hose sizes per shift and need fast die changes.
Typical Singapore buyers include marine and offshore yards, precision manufacturing plants, F&B production lines and pharmaceutical facilities — all of which run hydraulic systems that need repeatable hose-end terminations. In the humid tropical climate, store die sets lightly oiled and away from open air to limit corrosion on the die faces.
Selection criteria: how to choose a die set
- Machine model first. Confirm the crimper — for example ET4001 — and check the tooling package part number against the machine manual.
- Hose bore and construction. Match 1-wire, 2-wire or 4-spiral construction and the maximum outside diameter (1 1/4 in or 2 in depending on package).
- Duty cycle. High-volume production lines benefit from a full colour-coded package so die changes are quick and traceable.
- Environment. For marine and offshore work, inspect die faces for corrosion and store them protected; humid air is the main enemy of precision die surfaces.
- Power supply. Confirm the crimping machine nameplate matches the site supply — 230 V / 50 Hz single-phase or 400 V / 50 Hz three-phase in Singapore.
- Compliance context. Where the machine is installed in a licensed premises, check that the electrical installation and any WSH requirements are met by the installing contractor.
Product selection ladder
The three Aeroquip items below form a practical ladder from a single die set through to a full machine tooling package. All values come from the catalogue data.
| Model | Type | Hose constructions | Maximum capacity | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aeroquip Colour-Coded Crimp Die Set | Die set | 1-wire | 1 1/4 in | Workshops terminating 1-wire hose assemblies |
| Aeroquip Die Tool Package for 1-Wire and 2-Wire Hose | Die tool package | 1-wire and 2-wire | 1 1/4 in | Maintenance and production shops needing both constructions |
| Aeroquip Tooling Package for ET4001 Crimping Machine | Tooling package | 1–2 wire and 4-spiral | 2 in | High-pressure and large-bore hose work on the ET4001 |
Step up the ladder when the hose mix widens: a single 1-wire die set is enough for a repair bench, but a shop running 2-wire and 4-spiral assemblies should move to the ET4001 tooling package. If the machine is not an ET4001, confirm compatibility before ordering the larger package.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 15504SS Die Set (P/N 15504SS) used for?
It is a crimp die set for hydraulic hose assembly work, used with a compatible crimping machine to swage a fitting onto a hose end to a controlled diameter. Confirm the machine model and hose construction before ordering.
How do I choose between a 1-wire and a 2-wire die package?
Match the die package to the hose construction you actually terminate. A 1-wire die set covers 1-wire assemblies up to 1 1/4 in; a 1-wire and 2-wire package covers both constructions up to the same 1 1/4 in capacity.
Can I use the ET4001 tooling package on another crimping machine?
Only if the machine is confirmed compatible. The ET4001 tooling package is specified for the ET4001 machine and covers 1–2 wire and 4-spiral constructions up to 2 in; check the machine manual before substituting.
Where can I buy Aeroquip crimp die sets in Singapore?
3G Electric supplies Aeroquip die sets and tooling packages to Singapore buyers and can quote parts beyond the catalogue. Goods are offered EXW Singapore for collection from our Singapore office.
How should die sets be stored in Singapore's climate?
Keep die faces lightly oiled and protected from humid air, and inspect for corrosion before each use. In marine and offshore yards, store die sets in a closed case between jobs to protect the precision surfaces.
Does the crimping machine need a specific power supply in Singapore?
Confirm the machine nameplate against the site supply — 230 V / 50 Hz single-phase or 400 V / 50 Hz three-phase. Electrical installation should be carried out by a licensed contractor in line with local requirements.
