Midland Industries FBL-1550 Brass Compression Ferrule

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES FBL-1550 is a brass compression ferrule designed for use in hose fitting and fluid transfer applications. This light-duty ferrule provides a secure crimp connection at a 1.55-inch nominal diameter, making it a reliable component for assembling or repairing hose assemblies. The ferrule measures 0.968 inches in length with a 1.55-inch width and a height of 0.95 inches. Its all-brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability suitable for common hydraulic, pneumatic, or fluid-line work. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid system assemblers regularly use components like this when building or servicing hose assemblies.

The FBL-1550 suits residential and light commercial hose assembly applications where a compression-style crimp ferrule is required. The 1-1/8-inch hole specification guides proper hose insertion prior to crimping. It fits into the standard Crimp Ferrule category for brass, light-duty hose fittings and is appropriate for use wherever a 1.55-inch nominal ferrule is called for in hose assembly work.

Key Features

• 1.55-inch nominal diameter for consistent crimp fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install brass compression ferrule for light-duty hose fittings requiring a 1.55-inch nominal crimp ferrule.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with hose assembly and crimping procedures. De-pressurize and drain any fluid lines completely before disassembling existing hose connections. A proper crimping tool calibrated for the 1.55-inch ferrule diameter should be used to ensure a secure, leak-free connection. Follow applicable plumbing or hydraulic system codes for the specific application.
