Brass Barbed Fittings

Our brass barbed fittings offer a versatile and reliable solution for connecting flexible hoses in hydraulic, pneumatic, water, fuel, and general fluid-transfer systems. The barbed design ensures secure retention of hose ends without slipping, while the brass construction delivers excellent durability and corrosion resistance.

Key Advantages:

  • Strong and durable: Brass resists wear, corrosion and aging, making these fittings ideal for demanding environments.
  • Tight hose grip: The barb profile provides effective mechanical grip with hoses, particularly when combined with clamps, reducing risk of leaks or detachment.
  • Wide compatibility: Available in various barb sizes and thread options (BSPP, BSPT, NPT, etc.), these fittings suit a broad range of hose types and system layouts.
  • Versatile applications: Suitable for compressed air, water, oil, and other fluid transport uses in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
  • Easy installation: They’re simple to insert, just push hose over barb and secure with a clamp or ferrule for reliable sealing.

Common Configurations:

  • Hose tails (male/female with threaded ends)
  • Elbows (90° barbed or threaded)
  • Tees and cross connectors
  • Y-junctions and multi-port fittings
  • Swivel and union barbed adaptors

Each configuration allows you to adapt or branch hose paths, transition between thread types, or change flow direction without compromising integrity.

Ideal for:

  • Industrial fluid systems
  • Pneumatic line installations
  • Fuel and lubricants handling
  • Marine, automotive, or agricultural uses
  • Repair and retrofit applications

Why Brass Instead of Polypropylene?

Brass barbed fittings are the preferred choice when strength, temperature tolerance, and longevity are key. Unlike polypropylene, brass can withstand higher pressures and temperatures, making it suitable for demanding industrial, automotive, and pneumatic applications. It also offers superior resistance to impact, vibration, and UV exposure, ensuring a secure, long-lasting connection even in harsh environments. While polypropylene fittings are ideal for lightweight, low-pressure systems, brass provides a more robust, reliable solution where performance and durability matter most.
