Fitting only; hose is sold separately.
The Gates 4G-4MJ MegaCrimp coupling joins 1/4-inch hydraulic hose to a -4 male JIC 37-degree flare connection with 7/16-20 threads. Its straight configuration must match the required hose routing and mating connection.
This preassembled crimp coupling brings the stem and ferrule together as one part. Select it for a new hydraulic hose assembly or a replacement assembly when the hose series, end connection and routing have been confirmed. It is not a reusable field-attachable fitting.
The straight layout suits an in-line hose approach; confirm hose bend radius and clearance. The MegaCrimp C insert distributes crimping force around the hose. Correct hose selection, insertion and crimping remain essential to the finished assembly.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Preassembled coupling | Stem and ferrule are supplied together, simplifying component selection for an approved Gates assembly. |
| JIC 37-degree end | Connects to the matching JIC flare seat; thread size alone is not enough to establish compatibility. |
| Straight | Choose the routing geometry that fits the available clearance. |

Use current Gates eCrimp instructions for the exact hose, coupling, dash size and crimper. A matching hose diameter does not establish compatibility. The completed assembly must remain within the lowest-rated component's limits for pressure, temperature and fluid.
| Check | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Hose and crimp setup | Select a Gates-approved hose/coupling combination and the specified tooling and crimp settings. |
| Mating connection | Match JIC 37-degree seat, gender, thread and dash size. Do not substitute SAE 45-degree flare parts based on thread fit. |
| Routing and assembly | Follow Gates installation instructions; avoid hose twist, kinks and sharp bends at the fitting. This is a fixed male fitting, not a swivel. |
| Replacement work | Never reuse a permanently crimped fitting component or hose that has been in service. Do not mix manufacturers unless both approve the combination. |
