Dramm Fitting & Ferrule Set 5/8in Female - 12 Fittings & 12 Ferrules

Custom Hose Connections for ColorStorm Systems, 5/8in Female

Terminating a custom-cut length of Dramm ColorStorm hose with a factory-quality connection normally means sending it out for crimping. The Dramm Fitting & Ferrule Set provides the components to do it in-house: 12 female fittings and 12 ferrules sized for 5/8in ColorStorm hose, enough to complete 12 individual hose ends.

Used with the Dramm Press Hose Crimper, these fittings create secure, crush-proof 5/8in connections that match the performance of factory-terminated Dramm hoses — standard crimp tools are not recommended, since they may not seat the fitting to the correct depth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in this set?

The set includes 12 female fittings and 12 ferrules, providing components to terminate 12 individual hose ends on 5/8in ColorStorm hose. No additional hardware is needed beyond the Dramm Press crimping tool.

Do I need a special tool to install these fittings?

Yes — these fittings are designed for use with the Dramm Press Hose Crimper. A standard crimp tool is not recommended, since it may not produce the correct seating depth for a reliable, leak-free connection.

Is this set compatible with both Professional and Premium ColorStorm hose?

Yes — the 5/8in fitting and ferrule set is compatible with both Dramm ColorStorm Professional and Premium rubber hose in 5/8in diameter. Fitting dimensions are matched to that hose diameter regardless of which ColorStorm line is being terminated.

How do I know whether I need male or female fittings?

Female fittings have internal threads that connect to male-threaded sources such as hose bibs and manifold outlets. Check the existing connection at each hose end to confirm which gender is needed there.
