Barbed Steam Hose Fitting, Steel x Steel Fitting Material, 1/2" x 3/8", Male x Male

Steam hose barbed fittings are typically used in low-pressure steam heating, humidification, and washdown applications up to 150 psi. They provide compatible threads for connecting steam hoses to equipment in steam systems. Also known as hose nipples, they have raised ridges (or barbs) on one end that grip the inside of the hose to hold it in place and are secured with a clamp for a leak-resistant seal.
