Connecting a flexible hose to rigid pipework
A barbed fitting has a ribbed shank over which a flexible hose is slipped and held by a hose clamp. The other end is threaded (male or female) or has a swivel nut. It is found on water circuits, pumps and liquid transfer installations.
Brass or stainless, swivel nut or threaded
- Brass for everyday uses, 316 stainless for harsher environments; check fluid compatibility.
- Swivel nut: makes assembly easier without turning the hose.
- Shank diameter to match the inside diameter of the hose.
Frequently asked questions: Barbed fittings
How do I secure the hose on a barbed fitting?
Push the hose fully onto the shank and tighten a suitable clamp. If needed, warm the hose slightly to ease fitting, depending on its material.
Which diameter should I choose?
The shank diameter must match the inside diameter of the hose. The thread at the other end must match that of the pump or valve.
Does a barbed fitting withstand pressure?
It depends on the hose, the clamp and the fitting. Check the permissible working pressure given by the hose manufacturer and on the fitting's product page.
