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.

Easy-Fit Barbed Hose Fittings for Air and Water
Low-profile barbs and a longer first barb allow for a smoother, easier installation than other barbed fittings. Slide the barbed end into rubber hose and secure with a clamp.
Steel fittings are stronger and more durable than other metal fittings. They should be used in noncorrosive environments. Zinc-plated steel fittings have slightly better corrosion resistance than unplated steel fittings. Fittings with a threaded end are also known as hose nipples.
Hose connectors are also known as hose menders and splicers. Use them to connect lengths of hose or to repair damaged hose.

Metal Cam-and-Groove Hose Couplings for Chemicals and Petroleum
Made of metal, these couplings have better durability than plastic cam-and-groove couplings. A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately) that allow you to quickly connect and disconnect medium-to large-diameter hose lines. To connect, insert the plug into the socket and press the levers down. The levers fit snugly into the groove on the plug’s body and force the plug against the gasket to form a tight seal. To disconnect, lift both levers and pull out the plug. Couplings are compatible with Andrews, Dixon, Ever-Tite, and PT cam-and-groove couplings.
Straight sockets with barbed end are also known as C couplers. Insert the barbed end into plastic or rubber hose and secure with a clamp.
Aluminum plugs and sockets are lighter in weight than 316 stainless steel plugs and sockets. They have good corrosion resistance.
Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.
Warning: Relieve all pressure before disconnecting the couplings. Do not use cam-and-groove couplings with compressed air or gas.

Easy-Fit Barbed Hose Fittings for Chemicals
Low-profile barbs and a longer first barb allow for a smoother, easier installation than other barbed fittings. Slide the barbed end into rubber hose and secure with a clamp. Fittings are 316 stainless steel, which has excellent corrosion resistance to withstand a variety of chemicals.
Adapters are also known as hose nipples; they adapt a barbed end to a threaded end.
