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.
Zinc-plated steel fittings are stronger and more durable than other metal fittings. They have fair corrosion resistance, so they should be used primarily in dry environments.
Brass fittings are softer than other metal fittings, so they’re easier to thread together. Nickel-plated brass fittings resist corrosion better than plain brass fittings.
Fittings with a threaded end are also known as hose nipples.

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 female 37° and 45° flared end have a dual-angle seat that accepts both 37° and 45° flared 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.

D.O.T. Brass Compression Tube Fittings for Air
- Temperature Range: -40° to 200° F
- Tubing: Use with hard (Durometer 65D) nylon plastic
- Specifications Met: D.O.T. FMVSS 571
Safe for use in your air brake line, these fittings meet Department of Transportation FMVSS 571 standards. They’ve been tested for thermal cycling, vibration, and burst pressure, so put them to work right away. They have a single sleeve (ferrule) that compresses the tubing as you tighten the included nut, creating a strong seal. All components are made of brass and are corrosion resistant. Also known as flareless fittings.

Vibration-Resistant Precision AN 37° Flared Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
- For Use With: Air, Cutting Oil, Fuel Oil, Hydraulic Fluid, Mineral Oil, Water
- Temperature Range: -320° to 500° F
- Tubing: Use with seamless 304 or 316 stainless steel
- Specifications Met: See Table
A PTFE seal on the tube end of these fittings allows for an extra-strong connection in high-vibration applications. The threads on the tube end are Class 3A and adhere to tighter tolerances than other 37° flared fittings. They are made to exact AS (formerly AN) specifications and provide a tight metal-to-metal seal on tubing that is flared to 37°. Fittings are 316 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance. They require a nut and a sleeve (ferrule) for each tube end. Nuts and sleeves are sold separately.

Yor-Lok Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
A nut with two sleeves (ferrules) gives these fittings extra gripping power. The sleeves bite into tubing as you tighten the nut, creating a strong seal. Also known as instrumentation fittings, they are made to tight tolerances for use in high-precision applications. They are compatible with Swagelok®, Let-Lok, and A-Lok fittings.
316 stainless steel fittings have excellent corrosion resistance.

Quick-Clamp High-Vacuum Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
- For Use With:
Fittings with Gasket End: Air, Argon, Helium, Nitrogen
All Other Fittings: Air - Specifications Met: ISO 2861
Instead of a gasket, these fittings have a metal-reinforced O-ring that is designed for high-vacuum applications, such as vacuum coating and heat treating, leak testing, and analyzing gases. Also known as KF, QF, and NW fittings, they are the most common type of connection in high-vacuum systems. Connect with a clamp and another quick-clamp fitting for fast, easy access to your line. To use fittings in pressure applications, use a pressure-rated ring (sold separately). Made of 304 stainless steel, these fittings have very good corrosion resistance.
Note: To complete a connection, you’ll need two quick-clamp fittings, a ring, and a clamp (all sold separately).
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
- Temperature Range: 0° to 300° F
- Tubing: Use with 304/304L or 316/316L stainless steel
Fittings with claw-clamp end are often used to connect high-vacuum components with large-diameter connections, such as coating or heat-treating equipment, to components with smaller connections such as gauges, filters, or pumps. Also known as ISO-K fittings, they connect with four claw clamps and a ring (sold separately).

Create access points in ultra-high-vacuum lines or chambers by bolting two same-size flanges together with a copper gasket (sold separately) between them. The flanges’ sharp edges dig into the copper gasket and form an extremely tight seal, which means they handle higher vacuum pressures than other high-vacuum fittings with rubber gaskets. Also known as CF, Conflat, and UHV fittings, use them in vacuum coating, heat treating, and drying applications, as well as for leak testing and analyzing gases. They’re stainless steel so they resist rusting.
Butt-weld flanges provide a flush connection for smooth flow through your line.
Bolt kits are required to make a complete connection.
