High-Pressure Hose Barb Fittings

Features & Key Specifications

Features & Key Specifications of Our Hose Barb Fittings:

Unmatched Connection Security:

The combination of a multi-ringed hose barb and an external lock nut creates an exceptionally secure, pull-proof connection that outperforms standard push-in fittings in demanding conditions.

Extreme Temperature & Pressure Performance:

Built to handle the toughest jobs, these fittings operate reliably from -40°C to 220°C and at a high working pressure of up to 2.5 MPa (25 bar).

A Complete Range of Configurations:

Our extensive catalog includes all the shapes you need to build your system, including:

Male & Female Straight Connectors

90° Male Elbows

Male Run & Branch Tees

Straight Unions and Bulkheads

The Most Comprehensive Thread Selection:

We offer an unparalleled selection of thread types to meet any global requirement, including BSPT, BSPP (G), NPT, Metric, and UNF threads.

Durable & Reusable Brass Construction:

Machined from high-quality brass, these fittings offer excellent durability. Their two-piece design allows them to be easily disassembled and reused, providing excellent long-term value.

Application Fields

The Professional Choice for Secure Flexible Hose Connections:

Heavy Machinery & Mobile Equipment: Providing a vibration-proof connection for pneumatic lines on construction, agricultural, and transport vehicles.

Industrial Robotics: Ensuring secure connections on robotic arms where tubes are subject to constant motion and flexing.

High-Pressure Pneumatic Tools: A reliable connection for air tools that experience high pressure and physical pulling.

High-Temperature Environments: Suitable for use in paint curing ovens, foundries, and other high-heat industrial processes.

Critical Industrial Automation: For any application where connection failure could lead to significant downtime or safety concerns.

 Technical & Selection Guide

Why Choose a Hose Barb Fitting over a Push-in Fitting?

For Flexible/Soft Tubing: Push-in fittings work best with semi-rigid tubing. For softer, more flexible tubing like Polyurethane, the barb design provides a more secure internal grip.

For High Vibration or Tension: If the tube is subject to constant vibration, pulling, or flexing, the lock nut on the barb series provides a much more secure mechanical lock.

For Higher Pressures & Temperatures: The superior pressure (2.5 MPa) and temperature (220°C) ratings make barb fittings the necessary choice for applications that exceed the limits of standard push-in fittings.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: How do I install this fitting?

A: First, slide the lock nut onto the tube. Then, push the tube firmly over the barb until it bottoms out. Finally, slide the lock nut forward and tighten it onto the fitting's body to secure the tube.

Q: Are these fittings reusable?

A: Yes. One of their key advantages is that you can unscrew the lock nut, remove the tube, and reuse both the fitting body and the nut. This makes them highly economical for systems that are frequently reconfigured.

Q: What type of tubing are these designed for?

A: They are specifically designed to provide a strong grip on flexible and semi-flexible polymer tubing, such as Polyurethane (PU) and Nylon.
