Fittings are metal for better durability than plastic barbed hose fittings. They have sharper barbs than standard barbed hose fittings to grip push-on hose without the need for clamps or ferrules. The more you pull on the fittings, the tighter the hose will grip.

Also known as ball-seat hose nipples, these fittings consist of a barbed shaft with a rounded end that sits inside a female threaded nut. When mated with a male threaded fitting, the rounded end presses tightly against the inside of the male threads for a better seal than a single-piece fitting. Once assembled, insert the barbed end into hose and secure with a clamp or a crimp-on hose ferrule.

Fittings meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for drinking water. Attach them to garden hose for a variety of water supply applications. They are metal for better durability than plastic garden hose fittings.

The pin lugs on these fittings allow for easy gripping, so you can quickly connect to fire hydrants and washdown equipment. They swivel until tightened for easier installation than other fire hose fittings.

Fittings have good corrosion resistance.
