Metal Barbed Hose Fittings for Air and Water
Slide the barbed end into rubber hose and secure with the appropriate clamp or crimp-on hose ferrule.
Brass fittings are softer than other metal fittings, so they’re easier to thread together. Plain brass fittings have good corrosion resistance. Fittings with a threaded end are also known as hose nipples.
Fittings with a 45° flared end are also known as refrigeration and SAE fittings.

- Maximum Pressure: 250 psi @ 72° F
- Temperature Range: -40° to 160° F
- Attachment Type: Use Crimp-On Hose Ferrules, except For 1/2" Hose ID: Use Band-and-Buckle Clamps
- Specifications Met: SAE J476
Metal Push-On Barbed Hose Fittings for Air and Water
Fittings have sharper barbs than standard barbed hose fittings to grip rubber push-on hose with no clamps or ferrules required. The more you pull on the fittings, the tighter the hose will grip.
Brass fittings are softer than other metal fittings, so they’re easier to thread together. They have good corrosion resistance.
Fittings with a flared end meet JIC or SAE standards for dimensions. Fittings with a 45° flared end are also known as refrigeration and SAE fittings.The optional installation tool (sold separately) allows you to connect large quantities of barbed fittings to push-on hose. Use the built-in cutter to squarely cut the hose without fraying. Next, lubricate either the push-on hose, fitting or both. Then, clamp the hose into the tool’s vise and apply light pressure on the handle to drive into the fitting.
Note: To ensure proper connection, the barbed end has to be pushed in all the way, with the hose end concealed by the ring.

Threaded Hose Fittings for Compressed Gas
Use these fittings to connect welding hose to pressure regulators and torches. They are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) fittings. Fittings are brass for good corrosion resistance.
Fittings with left-hand threads are identified with a notch in the nut.
Note: Fittings have a CGA number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a fitting with the same CGA number as your tank and other system components.

Nuts for Barbed Hose Fittings for Compressed Gas
Also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) nuts, these are designed for low-pressure welding applications downstream of your tank and pressure regulator. Slide a barbed hose adapter for compressed gas into a male or female nut to make a threaded connection to torches or pressure regulators.
Nuts with left-hand threads are identified with a notch.
Brass nuts have good corrosion resistance. Note: Nuts have a CGA number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a nut with the same CGA number as your tank and other system components.

Nuts for High-Pressure Nipples for Compressed Gas
Slide a high-pressure hose nipple for compressed gas into one of these nuts to connect a pipe to the inlet of a pressure regulator. They are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) nuts and inlet nuts.
Brass nuts have good corrosion resistance and are softer than 316 stainless steel nuts, so they're easier to thread together. Aluminum-plated brass nuts have better corrosion and wear resistance than unplated brass.
Note: Nuts have a CGA, BS, or DIN number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a nut with the same number as your tank and other system components.

Screw-On Hose Fittings for D.O.T. Hose
Create or repair D.O.T. hose assemblies in the field with just a wrench and a vise, no crimper required. To install, separate the two pieces of these fittings. Screw the hose-end portion onto your hose, then thread the nipple portion into the hose-end portion. When assembled, these fittings compress against the hose to form a strong seal. Also known as reusable fittings, they can be unscrewed from your hose and used on a new one. All meet labeling and performance requirements for motor vehicle brake hose fittings.
Fittings with a flared tube connection swivel 360° until tightened for easy installation.
