01400 Hose Ferrule for SAE 100 R12/20-24 Hose

The 01400 R12 hose ferrule is a one-piece crimp sleeve engineered for large-bore SAE 100 R12 spiral-wire hydraulic hoses in dash sizes 20 and 24 (DN 32 and 38). It delivers the 4,000 psi holding power that R12 service demands, making it the go-to choice for mining, tunneling, and heavy industrial equipment. This page lists every dimension, material spec, crimping requirement, and ordering detail you need to spec the right part.

What Is the 01400 R12 Hose Ferrule?

An R12 hose ferrule is the outer metal shell of an ultra-high-pressure hydraulic hose fitting. SAE 100 R12 is a four-spiral-wire construction rated at 4,000 psi constant working pressure, so the ferrule must transfer extreme crimp load without slippage. The 01400 ferrule meets that demand with barb-like serrations on the inner bore that embed into the hose reinforcement during crimping.

This R12 hose ferrule also carries a stepped opening at the inner end that positions the fitting stem, so assemblies stay concentric and consistent. Our in-house tests show that correctly crimped 01400 assemblies hold beyond the hose’s rated working pressure without leakage or fitting pull-out.

Core advantages:

• Built for SAE 100 R12 spiral-wire hoses in the 20-24 dash range
• Barb-like serrated teeth embed into the reinforcement for a secure grip
• Stepped inner opening seats the stem for concentric, consistent assemblies
• 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 01400 ferrules share one cylindrical, hollow-body geometry with barb-like serrations on the inner bore. Length (L) is the primary R12 hose ferrule dimension, matched to each hose dash size.

• Length tolerance: ±0.5 mm across the range
• Outer diameter tolerance: ±0.1 mm for consistent crimping results
• Note: 01400-24 fits R12 hoses with 1-1/2 in (DN 38) bore, which differs from other 1-1/2 in series rated at DN 40

Applicable standard: SAE J517 (100 R12). For R12 hoses in dash 06 to 16, use our 00400 series instead.

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 01400 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: barb-like serrations for maximum grip without damaging the reinforcement layer

For food, pharmaceutical, or highly corrosive media, we also supply this R12 hose ferrule in stainless steel on request.

Performance and Crimping Requirements

Working and burst pressure values below follow SAE 100 R12 for the assembled hose. The ferrule is designed to hold the assembly to the hose’s rated performance.

• SAE 100 R12 is rated at a constant 4,000 psi (276 bar) working pressure across its range
• Temperature range: -40 °C to +121 °C for continuous service
• Crimping type: one-piece crimp; the 01400 R12 hose ferrule works with standard hydraulic crimping machines and matching die sets
• Hose preparation: follow your hose manufacturer’s instructions. R12 assemblies typically require cover removal (skiving), and we provide crimp data matched to 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 until it seats in the stepped opening.
4. Slide the 01400 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 01400 ferrule is designed to pair with the matching 01400-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 R12 hose ferrule size starts with the dash size.

• Step 1: Confirm the hose is SAE 100 R12 with a standard cover O.D.
• Step 2: Match the dash size to the hose I.D. (20 = DN 32, 24 = DN 38).
• Step 3: Cross-check the target crimp diameter on your hose maker’s crimp chart.

When in doubt, send us the hose brand, dash size, and crimp machine model. Our engineers will confirm the correct 01400 part number and crimp data before you order.

Quality Control and Testing

• Dimensional inspection with calibrated gauges on every R12 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

Warranty and honesty: we guarantee workmanship and material defects, and we replace defective parts without question. Assembly quality depends on correct hose preparation and crimp settings, which remain the assembler’s responsibility. We share our crimp data openly and support you through first articles.

FAQ

Q: Which hose does the 01400 R12 hose ferrule fit? A: Spiral-wire hoses manufactured to SAE 100 R12 in dash sizes 20 (DN 32) and 24 (DN 38). For R12 dash 06 to 16, use our 00400 series.

Q: What makes R12 hoses different from 4SP hoses? A: Both are four-spiral-wire constructions. R12 is a SAE heavy-duty spec rated at 4,000 psi constant, while 4SP follows EN 856 with size-dependent ratings. The 01400 ferrule is dedicated to R12 in the 20-24 range.

Q: Is this a skive or no-skive ferrule? A: R12 assemblies typically require skiving (cover removal). 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. Sample kits, zinc-nickel plating, stainless steel, and private label options are all available.
