Ordered as 360FRLBALN, this is an Ever-Tite Aluminum Multi-Notch Ferrule built to a 6 inch nominal size. The multi-notch ferrule clamps onto the hose using a banding tool rather than a crimping machine, so an assembly can be made without press equipment. It fits hose with an outside diameter of 6-31/64 in to 7-3/16 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.
As a material, Aluminum is valued for economical cost per connection and good corrosion resistance in general industrial service. Expect good resistance to many petroleum products, general atmospheric corrosion, and weathering. Exposure to prolonged salt water immersion or strong acids and alkalis will shorten service life.
It sees regular use in general industrial hose service, agriculture and irrigation, and tank truck and bulk transfer.
360FRLBALN ships individually. Confirm chemical compatibility, pressure and temperature against your own application requirements before installing. If you need a size, durometer or compound that is not listed, APG can cross-reference from a print, a sample or a competitor part number.
