The 304SS Hose Barb 1/2" Hose x 3/8" MPT Low Pressure HRSS is a precision-made fitting - designed to get that hose barb tightly into place on the tubing, and the threaded end snug onto whatever you're hooking it up to, all without any leaks. It's made of high-grade 304 stainless steel - the good stuff that can handle all sorts of harsh environments without giving up the ghost due to corrosion. This is the kind of connection you need when working with low-pressure systems in general plumbing, industrial fluid transfer, or food processing setups - the ones where a proper tight seal and minimal material degradation are absolutely critical.
Product Features
Stainless steel fittings for the win, here - these bad boys offer way better corrosion resistance than your average brass or plastic fittings. That means they can take a beating from moisture or a little chemical exposure and still keep on truckin'. Plus, you get a tight seal and consistent flow rate, so you don't have to worry about system leaks causing downtime or safety hazards. The solid construction also means it can take a bit of mechanical stress without losing its structural integrity.
-
Corrosion Resistance: 304 stainless steel construction means it'll outlast those flimsy brass or plastic fittings.
-
Use it anywhere: Suitable for water, oil, gas, and other liquids in low-pressure systems across a range of industries.
-
Don't let go: The barbed end grabs onto tubing tight, so it stays connected even in rough conditions.
-
Long term investment: Outlasts brass or plastic alternatives, meaning you don't have to worry about replacing this thing anytime soon.
Key Features & Specs
This fitting's machined to precise tolerance to fit with standard plumbing and hose sizes here in North America. You've got a 1/2" hose barb on one end for slipping into flex tubing, and a 3/8" MPT on the other for screwing into ports or female fittings. Sure its a low-pressure component, but its rated to handle up to 800 PSI, so you've got plenty of wiggle room in case things get a little too intense.

Installation & Reliability
Putting this 304SS Hose Barb in place is a breeze - just shove the barbed end into your compatible hose until its fully seated, then secure it with a hose clamp or crimp sleeve to seal it up proper. If you're dealing with MPTs, just use some thread sealant or a bit of PTFE tape to keep things from leaking. And as long as it's built from 304 stainless steel, you know you're not going to deal with any issues from corrosion or stress cracking any time soon.
