Accurately measure the hose O.D. with a diameter
tape. Each end of the hose should be measured to
guarantee the correct ferrule and die selection.

hose free O.D. just measured from the die chart.
Make sure that the hose end is cut square. If the
hose is to be static grounded, follow hose
manufacturers procedure for proper static
grounding.

Place a mark on the outside of the ferrule that
corresponds with the
center of one of the turned
over sections of the ferrule. This mark will act a
guide for correct engagement with the stem collar.
When using the Notched Stem and Ferrule system
these guidelines must be followed:
A. Before stem insertion, assemble the ferrule onto
the stem by sliding the turned over portion of the ferrule
past the notched sections of the stem collar. Rotate the
ferrule 90° (1/4 turn).
B. Before starting the swaging process, make sure
that the turned over portion of the ferrule and the collar
are fully engaged.
C. For “C” style couplings (requiring spacer rings),
make sure that the two ring halves meet over the turned
over portion of the ferrule which should be under the cam
arms.
