Brass Barb Tee Fitting 1/4" x 1/4" x 1/8" (Set of Six)

This fitting is made of brass and connects three lengths of hose in a branch tee. Barbed fittings create a tight seal on flexible and semi-rigid hose when used with a hose clamp or crimp sleeve or ferrule. This fitting is for a fixed connection between plastic or rubber hose. It is made of brass for corrosion resistance. Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Hose barb connectors are sized by the hose or tubing application. The barbed insert should always be slightly larger than the tubing to create a slight expansion of the tube and provide a good consistent seal. Thus the actual diameter of the barb will be slightly larger than the inside diameter of the tube intended for connection.
