How to Identify and Measure Fittings
Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

Flexible Kink Absorbers for Garden Hose
- Maximum Pressure: 120 psi @ 72° F
Use these kink absorbers to ensure maximum water flow and extend the life of your garden hose. They connect between the hose and faucet to eliminate sharp hose bends that can cause kinking and hose damage.

Flexible Kink Absorbers for Air and Water Hose
- Temperature Range: -25° to 350° F
Reduce sharp bends at the end of air and water hose that block flow and damage the hose. These kink absorbers support the connection between the hose and fitting. To install, push these kink absorbers over hose before attaching a fitting. If you’re having trouble getting them onto your hose, lubricate with soapy water. Once you’ve put on a fitting, slide these absorbers back toward the end of the hose, securing them over the fitting’s connection point.
Choose a kink absorber with an ID that is the same or slightly smaller than your hose's OD. Use with crimp-on ferrules or with push-on hose fittings; the end will not stretch over most hose clamps.
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 threaded end are also known as hose nipples.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.

Swivel On/Off Valves with Garden Hose Threads
- Valve Type: Ball
- For Use With: Water
- Temperature Range: 35° to 120° F
Keep fluids flowing—these valves twist and turn to prevent your hose from kinking. They connect to your faucet and swivel 360°, which makes it less likely your hose will kink when you move it side to side. Their lever handle is easy to turn, and lets you know if the valve is open or closed at a glance.
Zinc valves have good corrosion resistance. A plastic coating protects your hands by keeping the valve’s surface from getting too hot or cold.
Brass valves are more durable and corrosion resistant than zinc valves.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.
Add a kink absorber for additional protection to your hose. Connected between the valve and the hose, they prevent kinking from sharp up and down movements.
