Benefits & Applications

The HB050 1/2" Hose Barb makes hose connections fast and dependable. Its barbed profile reduces hose slippage and minimizes downtime from leaks or rework. For irrigation and landscaping, it speeds installation of drip and sprinkler lines. In HVAC and plumbing, it creates tight connections for condensate and low-pressure fluid lines. Automotive and light industrial users will find it useful for fuel return lines, coolant bypass, and small fluid-transfer systems. Because the HB050 is offered in corrosion-resistant materials, it’s also a practical option for certain chemical-processing and marine uses—just confirm chemical and temperature compatibility for your application.

Installation Guidelines

• Slide the hose over the barb until it seats against the fitting shoulder.
• Use a hose clamp for higher pressure, vibration-prone, or safety-critical systems.
• Check the product data sheet for pressure and temperature ratings and confirm chemical compatibility before use.
