Questions & Answers
MPT stands for "Male Pipe Thread," which has nothing to do with the barbs on the ends. The term "barbed female connector" refers to a female connector with a male pipe thread on it.
This stainless steel quick disconnect has a 1/2" hose barb and a 1/2" MPT female.
For hose barb and npt fittings, Stainless Steel Quick Disconnect is used.
Selected User Reviews For DERNORD 1/2 Inch Stainless Steel Quick Disconnect Set - Beer Brewing Connector Kit (Barb Female/FPT Male)
A 1/2" ball valve with a FPT opening can be found near the bottom of my brew kettle. I was able to screw the MPT/male disconnect into that, and then connect the barb/female disconnect to a 1/2" ID silicone hose (I used a hose clamp because I didn't plan on ever removing the hose from the barb, but the barb/hose connection was loose enough that you could safely remove the hose if you wanted). br>br>Overall, it feels solid and has a good connection. I haven't tested it for leaks yet, but I give it five stars based on its apparent quality and how well it matches the online description.
The material is of high quality, and the fit is perfect. These fittings have been installed in all of my brewery cleaning systems to allow for quick takedowns and changes.
With these, you'll be able to brew like a pro. Upgraded old clamps and hoses to these, which makes brew day a lot easier.
These are now strewn about my homebrew system. The only drawback is that they get quite hot when brewing, so I have to handle them with gloves. When in use, they do not leak.
Switching hoses is a breeze with this method. This is a product that I wholeheartedly endorse.
The highest level of excellence. I wish every fitting I buy at a home improvement store was as good as this one. Manufacturing is superb.
Excellent craftsmanship.
I'd like to buy Moe so that I can connect it to the pumps and boil pots.
