Low-Quality Hose Barb Fitting

This fitting is a disappointment. As my tests showed, it’s prone to leaks and cracks and sometimes fails on the first use. The one pro is the brass construction, but unfortunately, that doesn't make up for the subpar quality. For an industrial and scientific application, such as pneumatics and plumbing, I would expect the highest quality and durability. Instead, the cons outweigh any benefits of this product.

Pros
  • Designed for secure and leak-proof connections
Cons
  • Not compatible with hoses that require a different type of fitting

Wrong size: ½ inch end is much smaller than ½ inch

The units I received were only half right. The ¼" end was the right size to fit a ¼" hose, but the ½" end was about 0.05" too small and didn't fit the ½" hose at all.

Pros
  • Barbed tube seal
Cons
  • Large and bulky

Beautiful brass barbed hose adapter

These barbed hose adapters ship within a week of ordering.1. They came in a zipped package.2. They are brass.3. They seem to be well made, definitely a step up from plastic.4. They have a 3/16" side and a 1/4" side.5. They fit my application of adapting a 3/16" fuel line to a 1/4" fuel pump fitting.

Pros
  • Adapter for connecting two different diameter hoses directly
Cons
  • Damaged
