How to choose Hose Fittings & Ferrules
Hose fittings and ferrules are the crimped end components that connect a hydraulic hose into a line. In the field they are also called "hose ends" or "crimp fittings." The fitting is the body and connection end that goes inside the hose; the ferrule (socket) is the sleeve that slides over the outside of the hose and, when crimped, locks the fitting onto the hose. Crimped together, the two form a ready-to-install hose assembly. Stainless steel connection ends offer a robust solution in environments with saltwater, humidity and cleaning chemicals, where carbon steel ends rust.
Hydraulic hose fitting end types
| End type | Sealing | Where is it used? |
|---|---|---|
| BSP female swivel | 60° cone seat | Pump, valve and cylinder lines built to European standards |
| JIC 37° (UNF) female swivel | 37° conical surface | Machines built to American standards, mobile hydraulics, test equipment |
| Metric 24° (L / S series) | O-ring on the 24° cone nose | Connection to DIN 2353 compression fitting bodies |
| NPT male | On the threads | Equipment with NPT ports |
| SAE flange (SAE 3000 / 6000, Code 61 / 62) | O-ring on the face of the flange head | Large-bore pressure and suction lines, pump outlets |
| ORFS (on request) | O-ring on the flat face | High-pressure and vibrating lines |
Ends can be supplied straight, 45° and 90°; angled ends route the hose in front of the port without twisting it.
Choosing the hose, ferrule and end fitting
- Hose type: The ferrule and fitting are selected according to the hose construction, such as wire-braided 1SN and 2SN (EN 853) or spiral-reinforced 4SH (EN 856). A wrong ferrule may look correctly crimped, yet it can pull off under pressure.
- Inside diameter: The hose ID is determined by the flow rate; the fitting body is selected for the same ID.
- Skive or no-skive: With some ferrule designs the outer rubber cover of the hose is skived before crimping, with others it is not. This depends on the ferrule design and must not be mixed up.
- Port standard: The connection end of the fitting is selected according to the standard of the port on the machine; if the port is uncertain, it is identified with a thread pitch gauge and by its cone angle.
Hydraulic hose assembly and crimping
For customers who need a custom hydraulic hose assembly, that is, the hose cut to length and its ends crimped, the ends are prepared by matching the hose type and the crimp diameter. When ordering, specify the ID, overall length, working pressure, fluid, the standard and angle of both ends, and, for assemblies with elbows on both ends, the orientation angle of the ends relative to each other. Hose assemblies are typically ready to ship within 5-15 business days, and stainless steel ends in stock within 1-3 business days.
What to watch when installing hoses
The hose must not be bent tighter than its minimum bend radius, and the bend must not start right at the end fitting. The hose must not be twisted when connected; the printed layline along it should stay straight. Because the length changes slightly under pressure, the line must not be installed fully taut, and protective sleeves should be used at chafing points.
Which industries use them?
Ship deck machinery, crane and steering hydraulics; pipe handling and lifting equipment on drillships; press and mill roll lines in rolling mills; corrugated board (corrugator) and actuator lines in board mills; flexible connections on fire pump sets; and mobile hydraulics in the defense industry.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Hose Fittings & Ferrules
If your question isn't answered here, message us on WhatsApp with dimensions or a photo, and our technical team will answer directly.
Ask on WhatsAppWhat is the difference between a hose fitting and a ferrule?
The fitting (hose end) is the body and connection end that goes inside the hose; the ferrule is the sleeve that slides over the outside of the hose and, when crimped, locks the fitting onto the hose. In one-piece designs the two are combined. Either way, the parts are selected according to the hose type and ID.
What information is needed to have a hydraulic hose made up?
The hose ID, the overall length and the points it is measured between, the working pressure, the fluid and temperature, the connection standard and angle of both ends, the orientation angle of the ends for assemblies with elbows on both ends, and the quantity. If you have the old hose, a sample or a photo of its printed marking is the fastest route.
What is the difference between 1SN, 2SN and 4SH hoses?
1SN hoses have one layer and 2SN hoses two layers of steel wire braid (EN 853); at the same ID, 2SN withstands higher pressure. 4SH has four layers of spiral steel wire reinforcement (EN 856) and is used for high-pressure, high-impulse service. A separate ferrule is designed for each type; the ferrule for one hose cannot be used on another.
Will these ferrules fit hoses from a different manufacturer?
Ferrules and fittings are designed around the reinforcement construction and OD of the hose; even among hoses of the same class, the OD and crimp values can vary from one manufacturer to another. That is why the hose brand and type should be stated in the order, and the crimp diameter set according to that match.
Should the hose end be straight, 45° or 90°?
The end angle is chosen according to the path the hose will follow after leaving the port. If the hose would have to bend sharply in front of the port, or needs to turn to the side immediately, a 45° or 90° end preserves the bend radius and does not strain the hose. If there is enough straight length, a straight end gives lower pressure loss and easier installation.
