00400 Hose Ferrule 00400 for 4SP/4SH/R12 Spiral Hose Range

The 00400 4SP hose ferrule is a one-piece crimp sleeve engineered for ultra-high-pressure spiral-wire hydraulic hoses: EN 856 4SP, EN 856 4SH, and SAE 100 R12. It covers nine dash sizes from 04 to 32 (DN 6 to 50), making it the go-to 4SP hose ferrule for mining, construction, and oil-and-gas systems. This page lists every dimension, material spec, crimping requirement, and ordering detail you need to select the right part.

What Is the 00400 4SP Hose Ferrule?

A 4SP hose ferrule is the outer metal shell of an ultra-high-pressure hydraulic hose fitting. Spiral-wire hoses carry the highest pressure ratings in the industry, so the ferrule must transfer extreme crimp load without slippage. The 00400 ferrule meets that demand with precision-formed serrations on the inner bore that bite into the prepared hose end.

This ferrule serves three hose families: 4SP across the full range, 4SH in dash 12 to 16, and R12 in dash 06 to 16. Our in-house tests show that correctly crimped 00400 assemblies hold beyond the hose’s rated working pressure without leakage or fitting pull-out.

Core advantages:

• Built for ultra-high-pressure 4SP, 4SH, and R12 hose families
• Serrated inner teeth grip the prepared hose end evenly around the full circumference
• One family covers nine dash sizes from 04 to 32, simplifying inventory
• Yellow zinc plating protects against corrosion in harsh field service
• Matched ferrule-and-stem sets for consistent, certified assemblies
• Honest engineering support on crimp data, dies, and hose preparation

Key Specifications and Dimensions

All 00400 ferrules share one cylindrical, hollow-body geometry with annular serrations on the inner bore. The 00400 4SP hose ferrule family covers nine dash sizes, and the length (L) of each part is matched to its hose dash size.

• Length tolerance: ±0.5 mm across the range
• Outer diameter tolerance: ±0.1 mm for consistent crimping results
• Applicable hose families: 4SP (dash 04-32), 4SH (dash 12-16), R12 (dash 06-16)

Applicable standards: EN 856 (4SP and 4SH) and SAE J517 (100 R12).

Crimp diameter note: the final crimped O.D. is set by your hose maker’s crimp chart, not by the ferrule alone. The tight O.D. tolerance of the 00400 ferrule keeps crimp results stable from batch to batch. Always verify the target crimp diameter against the hose manufacturer’s published chart before production runs.

Material and Surface Finish

• Base material: carbon steel, cold formed for uniform grain structure
• Surface treatment: yellow zinc plating with yellow chromate passivation
• Corrosion resistance: typical neutral salt spray performance ≥120 h per ISO 9227; zinc-nickel plating available for offshore or high-corrosion service
• Hardness: balanced to resist cracking during crimping, typically HRC 20-25; certified values on request
• Inner bore: precision-formed serrations for maximum grip without damaging the reinforcement layer

For food, pharmaceutical, or highly corrosive media, we also supply this 4SP hose ferrule in stainless steel on request.

Performance and Crimping Requirements

Working and burst pressure values below follow EN 856 4SP for the assembled hose. The ferrule is designed to hold the assembly to the hose’s rated performance.

Hose family ratings: for 4SH hoses (dash 12 and 16), the working pressure follows EN 856 4SH, up to 420 bar at dash 12. For R12 hoses (dash 06 to 16), the working pressure follows SAE 100 R12 at 4,000 psi (276 bar) constant. Verify all values against your hose data sheet.

• Temperature range: -40 °C to +100 °C for continuous service
• Crimping type: one-piece crimp; the 00400 4SP hose ferrule works with standard hydraulic crimping machines and matching die sets
• Hose preparation: follow your hose manufacturer’s instructions. 4SH and R12 assemblies typically require cover removal (skiving); 4SP may be skive or no-skive depending on the fitting system. We provide crimp data for your preparation method with every order.
• Reuse: ferrules are single-use components. Never re-crimp a used ferrule.

Installation Guide

1. Cut the hose square with a sharp hose cutter. A square cut prevents leakage paths and uneven grip.
2. Prepare the hose end exactly as the hose maker specifies (skive the cover where required).
3. Insert the matching stem fully into the hose bore.
4. Slide the 00400 ferrule over the prepared hose end and seat it against the stem shoulder.
5. Position the assembly in the correct die set and crimp to the target crimp diameter.
6. Verify the crimp O.D. with a caliper. Record the value for quality traceability.

Matching components: the 00400 ferrule is designed to pair with the matching 00400-series stem (insert) from the same fitting family. We supply ferrule and stem as matched sets, which is the recommended way to achieve consistent, certified assemblies.

How to Select the Right Ferrule Size

Selecting the right 4SP hose ferrule size starts with the hose family and the dash size.

• Step 1: Identify the hose family (4SP, 4SH, or R12) and confirm it falls within the 00400 coverage range.
• Step 2: Match the dash size to the hose I.D. (04 = 6 mm, 06 = 10 mm, and so on).
• Step 3: Confirm the hose cover O.D. sits within the applicable standard tolerance.
• Step 4: Cross-check the target crimp diameter on your hose maker’s crimp chart.

When in doubt, send us the hose brand, family, dash size, and crimp machine model. Our engineers will confirm the correct 00400 part number and crimp data before you order.

Quality Control and Testing

• Dimensional inspection with calibrated gauges on every 4SP hose ferrule batch
• Batch salt spray testing to verify plating quality
• Pull-off and burst testing on sample assemblies to validate grip performance
• Batch traceability marking on packaging

FAQ

Q: Which hose does the 00400 4SP hose ferrule fit? A: Spiral-wire hoses manufactured to EN 856 4SP (dash 04-32), EN 856 4SH (dash 12-16), or SAE 100 R12 (dash 06-16).

Q: What is the difference between 4SP, 4SH, and R12 hoses? A: All three are four-spiral-wire constructions for ultra-high pressure. 4SH and R12 are heavy-duty variants with higher pressure ratings in the mid sizes; R12 is rated at 4,000 psi constant. The 00400 ferrule covers all three families within its stated range.

Q: Is this a skive or no-skive ferrule? A: It depends on the hose family and fitting system. 4SH and R12 assemblies typically require skiving; 4SP may be skive or no-skive. We supply crimp data matched to your preparation method.

Q: Can the ferrule be reused after a hose fails? A: No. Hydraulic ferrules are single-use components. Always crimp a new ferrule for every new assembly.

Q: What crimp diameter should I use? A: Use the target crimp diameter from your hose manufacturer’s crimp chart for the specific dash size. We provide reference crimp data with every order.

Q: Do you provide samples and custom finishes? A: Yes. Mixed-size sample kits, zinc-nickel plating, stainless steel, and private label options are all available.
