1. Cut the formed tube off squarely next to the permanent
hose fitting. Lightly debur the end of the tube internally
and externally.
2. Disassemble the Ferrul-Fix fitting, 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 finger 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 fitting to hose. Refer to assembly
instructions listed in appropriate fittings section. Do not
assemble to hose before step 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 fitting nipple hex and the other on
the nut, tighten nut an additional 1/6 turn (one wrench
flat).

Division Catalog 4300, Ferulok instructions.
Ferrul-Fix Installation Instructions
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, since equipment
dealers are unable to stock all of the many odd tube
configurations.
Parker Ferrul-Fix hose end fitting now makes it possible
to salvage the bent tube section of the original assembly
for replacement. Most importantly, 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 — You can
replace the hose at a fraction of the cost of complete
assembly.
• Eliminates need for emergency brazing or welding
in the field — Ferrul-Fix can be assembled without
special tools or equipment.

Ferrul-Fix Installation Instructions
3-Piece Design — body, nut, ferrule. Wedging action of
ferrule, 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 fitting is disassembled, an
important safety feature. Self-centering action assures an
even bite around circumference of tube.
Parkerized Finish — Ferrul-Fix fittings have the
Parkerized black finish, providing built-in torque in
make-up.
