🔌 Parker Hannifin 325HB 8 8N Par Barb Connector: Superior Connection Excellence Review

As a hesitant buyer in the Industrial and Scientific field, I was extremely disappointed with this product. My analysis of this fitting showed that it was poorly constructed and did not provide a secure connection. The threads were not accurately aligned, causing leaks and potential damage to our system. The only pro is that it was inexpensive, but the cons heavily outweighed any cost savings. Overall, I would not recommend this fitting for anyone in the pneumatic and plumbing industry.

It was advertised to be made from FDA compliant material but the product packaging had a health warning on it as you can see in the attached image. I'll revise my review as soon as I know why.

I found this product to be a good price but if you are buying a set of these you should be aware that the clamp around the hose just need to tighten put it in a mandrel. I pulled mine out for a different reason and was upset to see that the clip flattened part of the notch and reduced the flow by about a third. If you need to firmly crimp a hose clamp, you may find that a brass clamp is a better choice. Mine in brass arrived today, five left in plastic.
