About Hose Barb Fittings
Hose barb fittings—also known as hose barb pipe fittings—are one of the most versatile and widely used connection types in plumbing, irrigation, and fluid transfer systems. These fittings feature a tapered, ribbed barb design that grips the inside of a flexible hose, creating a secure and leak-resistant mechanical seal when properly clamped.
At Plumbingsell, you’ll find hose barb fittings suitable for residential plumbing, commercial applications, HVAC, marine use, fuel transfer, air line systems, and general-purpose fluid handling.
How Hose Barb Fittings Work
The ribbed or wedge-shaped barbs on the fitting provide friction and resistance as the hose slides over them. When clamped, these barbs grip even tighter, ensuring a long-lasting seal.
A properly installed hose barb connection prevents slippage, leakage, and pressure loss—making these fittings a trusted solution across a wide range of plumbing fittings and industrial uses.
Hose Compatibility
Hose barb fittings work with many flexible tubing types, including:
- PVC (vinyl)
- Rubber
- Latex
- Silicone tubing
- Non-rigid polyethylene hose
As long as the hose material is flexible and able to stretch over the barb, the connection will achieve proper sealing once clamped.
