JoyTube Hose Barb Reducer 3/8" to 1/2" Barb Hose ID Stainless Steel Reducing Union Fittings Air Water Fuel (Pack of 6)

This is a machined-to-size piece of tubing. It is 1/2-inch in diameter. There was good "barb" on both ends of the 3/8 to grab the inside of the hose. In 1/4 of the world's population On the 3/8" end, 3/8" barbs were well-defined but on the 1/4" end, they were rounded and not as well In my tests, both adapters were used with EPDM hose used for sprayers. I found the fit to be good, and it was not too hard to slip on and off when I was removing for half an hour The third eighth. Getting the 1/4 inch hose end on and off was slightly easier than getting the 3/8 or 1/2 inch hose end. If you want to use any type of hose clamp, I recommend getting Using hose clamps and pressurizing the system to 40 psi, I have managed to achieve what I had hoped to achieve I found both adapters to be well sealed. plastic tubing is thicker than some of the cheaper adapter/reducers I've used in the past- Some of them I have broken and smashed out of copper There are rounds. A lot more durability can be found with these adapters. We are extremely pleased with our 1/2-inch An adapter for 3/8" was purchased. In addition, if the 1/4" ends had barbs as well-defined as the 1/8" ends, I would be equally satisfied. I am relatively pleased with these adapters and they should be able to serve me for a long time.

connector is of low quality and of low tolerance. It cannot be used with high-tolerance fuel injection lines, such as nylon or rubber The barb on a rubber fuel injection line (high pressure) will cause a restriction, or flow problem, by cutting the inner part of the line. My requirement was for a nylon fuel injection line, and the tolerance was so large that I couldn't even get the 5/16 side of the barb to fit the 3/8 There was absolutely no chance of the 5/16th fitting. With the heat gun I succeeded in pressing on but the 5/16th line was split when trying to press it.

There is a metric equivalent to a 1/4" input line here and a 5/16" output line on the radiator. Thus, an adapter is needed. I would pay the online hardware suppliers if I would like one of these mailed to me Using Amazon's Prime service, I got 6 of these for just a little bit more. As there is no "flange" between the two different sizes, when both hose sizes are attached, one on each end, it is not necessary to put a coupling on each end. In the middle of the fight, they butted each other up close. This is nice.

I was able to easily turn this into a 1/4 inches by hand without any twisting or turning. Line for fuel injection (Gates 1/4" Barricade fuel injection may be useful for other purposes, I would not recommend it for any kinds of fuel lines, regardless of how high or how low the pressure might be. There does not seem to be a difference in the 5/16 inch size. It was really important to me that this work, since I prefer stainless steel over other materials. While reading other complaints, I had to see what I was dealing with Fuel lines should not be used with these.

They will finally realize that 6mm is not 1/4 inch when they receive this memo. There is wiggle in the barbed fitting on the 1/4 fuel line, but it fits perfectly on the 5/16 fuel line. I have to check if it's too late to return these.

To me, this is of no use. I would like to point out that one side of the 1/4" is machined too We had to tie on about half a dozen different 1/4" ID hoses, and they all went on very easily. If the clamps were two it would leak even at 20 psi.

In fuel lines, there is no alternative to corrosion-resistant metal connectors. Featuring barbs that ensure a leak-proof connection, the barbs guarantee a secure.
