A fluid line having a crimp joint comprises a flexible hose, a tube and a ferrule. The tube has a tube stem portion located in the flexible hose, with the tube stem portion including a first flat portion adjacent to the free end, a second flat portion, a third flat portion, a first tube stem bead located between the first and second flat portions and extending radially outward, and a tube stem groove located between the second and third flat portions and extending radially inward. A ferrule is located radially outward from the flexible hose, with the ferrule including a first crimp tooth located radially outward from the first flat portion, a second crimp tooth located radially outward from the second flat portion, and a third crimp tooth located radially outward from the third flat portion, wherein the crimp teeth are out of phase with the bead and the groove.
