Low Lead Brass Male Hose Barb with Straight Fitting Style, 1/4" Thread Size

Low-lead brass multipurpose rigid barbed hose fittings are certified for use with potable water, making them a good choice for hose assemblies in plumbing systems that transport drinking water. They are also resistant to corrosion from water, saltwater, heat, minerals, and acids. These fittings have various connection types on one end and raised ridges (or barbs) on the other end that grip the inside of hoses to hold them in place. They are secured with a clamp or crimped ferrule for a leak-resistant seal.

Multipurpose rigid barbed hose fittings and menders connect hoses to pipe in multipurpose hose assemblies. They are also used to repair damaged hoses to help extend their life. These fittings have raised ridges (or barbs) that grip the insides of hoses to hold them in place and are secured with a clamp or crimped ferrule to form a tight seal. They are commonly used for low-pressure applications in the food and beverage, marine, and chemical processing industries to convey air, fluids, and chemicals through a pipe system.
