Review on Quickun Brass Hose Barb Reducer 1" To 5/8" Barbed Reducer Fitting Reducing Splicer Mender Union Adapter For Air Water Fuel by Chris Hall

Revainrating 4 out of 5

undersized 3/4 in for irrigation poly pipe

Good quality fitting. Used to reduce 3/4 in. poly sprinkler pipe to 3/8 in. tubing to build a pond aerator.3/4 in. side too loose. I made a sleeve of 3/4 in vinyl tubing over the fitting and heated the end of the pipe in near-boiling water to fit, then secured with a hose clamp. Fine for a low pressure application.

Pros
  • Brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability
Cons
  • Rust and Corrosion
