Questions we get asked

About this range

01Can I use these on 4SH or R13 hose?

They are listed for 4SP and R12. 4SH, R13 and R15 are higher-pressure constructions with their own fittings and ferrules — tell us the hose and we will confirm the correct series.

02Why are spiral-hose fittings heavier?

Spiral hose carries higher pressures and impulse loads, and its thicker wall and wire layers need a longer, stronger grip. The heavier body and its crimp are designed for that construction.

03Are these one-piece fittings?

Yes. Crimp them to the diameter specified for the hose and fitting, with the matching dies.

04Why do larger spiral hose assemblies use flange heads instead of threaded ends?

Because at -16 and above a threaded swivel needs very high torque to seal, is hard to make up in the field and is more likely to loosen under impulse. An SAE Code 61 or Code 62 flange head seals on an O-ring clamped by four bolts, which is easier to assemble on large high-pressure lines and can be released without turning the hose. Code 62 is the higher-pressure pattern; the two are not interchangeable.

05How close to the fitting can spiral hose bend?

Not at the fitting itself: leave a straight length of hose behind the ferrule before the bend starts, and never bend tighter than the hose’s minimum bend radius. A bend that starts at the ferrule concentrates strain on the wire where it leaves the crimp, which is where spiral assemblies usually fail. Where the routing turns sharply at the port, use a 45° or 90° elbow fitting instead of bending the hose.

06Can a crimped spiral hose fitting be reused?

No. The ferrule is permanently deformed onto the hose and its grip cannot be restored once it is cut off, so the fitting is scrapped with the hose. Recrimping a used fitting onto new hose is a known cause of blow-offs. Keep the old assembly for its length and orientation, and order new fittings for the replacement.
