Welcome to our selection of nickel-plated brass barbed fittings, the ideal solution when you need durable, corrosion-resistant hose connectors that combine the performance of brass with the protective benefits of nickel plating.
Why choose nickel-plated brass barbed fittings?
Superior corrosion resistance: The nickel plating offers an extra barrier against rust, oxidation and wear, making them well suited to more demanding or humid environments.
Retains brass performance traits: You still benefit from brass’ good machinability, strength and sealing properties, now enhanced with a decorative finish.
Low friction & smooth flow: The internal surface finish helps reduce friction and turbulence in fluid passages.
Versatile range of sizes: Thread sizes range from ¼-inch to ¾-inch & hose tail diameters from approximately 4.5 mm to 20 mm.
Wide variety of configurations: Options include straight hose tails, elbows (90°), couplings, T-junctions, and more, to suit your layout requirements.
Typical applications
Pneumatic systems, low-pressure air lines
Cooling or lubrication circuits
Laboratory and instrumentation plumbing
Fuel, oil or water lines (where nickel plating provides extra protection)
Any system where a secure push-on or clamp connection is needed
Tips for selection and installation
Match hose ID to barb size: Choose a barb that fits snugly inside your hose inner diameter for optimal grip.
Use clamps: Secure the hose over the barb to prevent leaks or blow-offs.
Consider thread type: Many fittings use BSP or BSPT threads - ensure compatibility with your existing connectors.
Mind the operating conditions: While plated for better durability, these fittings are best for moderate pressure and temperature ranges typical of brass fittings.
Avoid galvanic corrosion: When connecting to dissimilar metals, ensure compatibility or potential isolation to protect your system.
