4" B NOTCHED FERRULE ALUMINUM

340FRLBALN is an Ever-Tite Aluminum Multi-Notch Ferrule supplied with a 4 inch nominal size. In service, this multi-notch ferrule seats over the hose shank and is tightened by band, with the notch pattern distributing the clamping load. It fits hose with an outside diameter of 4-3/4 in to 4-7/8 in. The multi-notch pattern spreads the clamping band load across several points around the ferrule. Unlike a crimp sleeve, which is swaged by a crimping machine, this ferrule is tightened with a banding tool.

Aluminum is specified here for high strength-to-weight ratio that eases handling of large sizes and reduced operator fatigue on frequent connection cycles. The compound resists many petroleum products, weathering, and general atmospheric corrosion. It should not be specified for service in prolonged salt water immersion or galvanic pairing with dissimilar metals.

Common environments for this compound include construction and dewatering, agriculture and irrigation, and petroleum transfer.
