1/2" 316 Stainless Steel Hose Barb

This straight barbed hose fitting connects 1/2 inch inner-diameter hose to a 1/2 inch male NPT thread. It is machined from 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in bath and plumbing installations. The reusable design suits maintenance tasks where connections are broken and remade.

Capacity and temperature range

The fitting handles fluid temperatures from -30 degrees to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. It is not vacuum rated, so it should not be used in suction lines that pull negative pressure. The 1/2 inch barb and NPT sizes limit flow to what that bore can pass.

Hex head and installation fit

A 27/32 inch hex head provides a wrench flat for tightening into threaded ports without damaging the barbed end. The straight shape keeps the hose run inline, saving space in tight cavities behind fixtures. Silver 316 stainless construction resists scaling in hot-water service.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/2 in barb and 1/2 in NPT male threads match my existing 1/2 in hose and fittings?

Yes, both ends are sized at 1/2 in so the barbed side accepts 1/2 in ID hose and the NPT side threads into standard 1/2 in female NPT ports.

How can I verify the fitting is sealing correctly once installed?

Pressurise the line up to its 180 °F temperature limit and check the barb-to-hose junction and NPT threads for any moisture; the 316 stainless construction and reusable design should hold without leaks.

Does the package include a hose clamp or thread sealant for the NPT connection?

Only the barbed hose fitting itself is supplied; a 27/32 in hex wrench, hose clamp and suitable thread sealant must be purchased separately.
