Brass Female Hose Barbs

Brass female hose barbs are fittings designed to create a secure connection between hoses and other components with male threads, such as pipes, valves, or pumps. These fittings have a female-threaded end and a barbed or ridged end that grips the inside of a hose when it’s pushed onto the fitting. Brass is a popular material for these fittings due to its durability and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in plumbing, industrial, and agricultural settings.

Here are key points to understand about Brass female hose barbs:

1. Design:Brass female hose barbs consist of a threaded female end and a barbed end. The barbed end features multiple ridges that grip the inner surface of a flexible hose when the hose is pushed onto the fitting.
2. Materials:Brass is commonly used for female hose barbs due to its strength, resistance to corrosion, and compatibility with various types of fluids and environmental conditions.
3. Thread Types:The threaded female end of Brass hose barbs comes in various thread types, such as NPT (National Pipe Thread) or BSP (British Standard Pipe). The thread type should match the male-threaded component you are connecting to.
4. Hose Connection:To ensure a leak-resistant connection, a hose clamp or hose clip is used to secure the hose onto the barbed end of the fitting. The clamp tightens around the hose and the fitting, creating a reliable seal.
5. Applications:Brass female hose barbs are used in a variety of applications, including:
   • Connecting hoses to faucets, pumps, valves, and other water-related equipment.
   • Industrial applications for fluid transfer within manufacturing processes.
   • Agricultural applications for irrigation and fluid transfer in farm equipment.
   • Automotive applications for connecting hoses in cooling systems and air intake systems.

Brass female hose barbs provide a reliable and durable solution for connecting hoses to male-threaded components in various applications.
