🔩 Dernord Stainless Steel Hose Barb Fittings Review

Very well made but hose flash too small for 1" PE pipe. I have other 1" burr fittings for 1.075" OD tubing. They absorb polyethylene tubing with little heat and seal carefully. This fitting has a hose barb O.D. of .980 inch. No heat and pinch seals against domestic well pump pressure (55psi). The NPT thread was perfect.

The 1" NPT to 1" fitting looks good but note that the side of the pin is too small to fit standard PVC piping. There is a gap of about 1/16 inch between the fitting and the hose. I couldn't make it airtight. I am returning them because they are useless to me. I ended up going to a hardware store and bought some electroplated ones that worked properly to finish my project.

Couldn't use them as planned to install my new well pump. When I install a nipple in an ABS pipe I heat up usually the end of the pipe with a heat gun as the fit is tight and makes installation easier.These fittings are inserted into the pipe with about 1/16" clearance. Impossible to pull tight enough to make an airtight seal. A 30 mile round trip to Home Depot for a barbed fitting that actually fits 1" ABS. I'm not sure what tube/tube size they are supposed to fit, but they definitely won't…
