Ferrule-Fix
Fast, on-the-job repair for ruptured bent tube hose
assemblies and power steering lines.
The life of the combination tube-hose assembly is often limited to the
service life of the hose alone. A replacement assembly may not be
available, some equipment dealers are unable to stock all of the many
odd tube confgurations.
Parker FERRUL-FIX, a feld attachable, reusable hose end ftting,
now makes it possible to salvage the bent tube section of the origi-
nal assembly for replacement. Most important, it gets you back into
operation FAST!
• Gets you back in operation fast - No costly delays
while replacement assemblies are rushed from the
factory.
• Lets you reuse expensive bent tube ends with
Parker Hose fttings - You can replace the hose at a
fraction of the cost of complete assembly.
• Eliminates the need for emergency brazing or
welding in the feld - Ferrul-Fix can be assembled
without special tools or equipment when using Parker
Reusable Hose fttings.
3-Piece Design -
Body, nut and ferrule. Wedging action of fer
rule, when drawn down by nut, forms seal between body and
ferrule, while cutting edge of ferrule “bites” into tube wall forming another
positive seal.
Visible Bite -
Extent of bite at cutting edge of ferrule is completely visible
when ftting is dis-assembled, an important safety feature. Self-centering
action assures even bite around circumference of tube.
Parkerized Finish -
Ferrul-Lok fttings have the Parkerized black fnish,
providing “built-in” lubrication which reduces wrench
torque required.
Ferrul-Fix Installation Instructions
1.
Cut the formed tube off squarely next to the permanent hose ftting.
Lightly deburr the end of the tube internally and externally.
2.
Disassemble the Ferrul-Fix ftting, and lubricate threads and both
ends of the ferrule with Parker Ferulube.
3.
Slide nut and ferrule onto tubing, with the long, straight end of the
ferrule pointing toward the tube end.
4. Insert tube end into the Ferrul-Fix body until it bottoms against
the shoulder. Slide ferrule inside body, and screw nut down fnger
tight.
5.
Wrench nut down 1-3/4 turns to preset the ferrule.
6.
Disconnect nut and inspect lead edge of ferrule to make certain
that the biting edge has turned up a shoulder to a height of at least
50% of the ferrule and completely around the tube.
7.
Assemble Ferrul-Fix ftting to hose. Refer to assembly instructions
listed in appropriate fttings section. Do not assemble to hose
before steps 1-6.
8.
Reassemble tubing into Ferrul-Fix end and turn nut down easily
until a sudden increase in force is evident. Turn bent tube to proper
position if required. Using two wrenches, one on the ftting nipple
hex and the other on the nut tighten nut an additional 1/6 turn (one
wrench fat).
