Brass Hose Connector, 7-8mm Barbed / 5/16″ / GZ 1/2″ Male Thread

Brief Overview

This is a straightforward brass hose connector designed to join flexible tubing to 1/2-inch male threaded ports. The barbed inlet grips tubing securely without additional clamps, while the machined brass body ensures corrosion resistance and durability in both pneumatic and fluid applications. If you need different thread sizes, we also stock connectors with 1/4-inch threads and larger 12mm barbed versions for flexible system expansion.

Key Features

• Barbed Inlet: Three pronounced barbs on the 7-8mm tail grip flexible tubing firmly, minimizing slippage
• Male Thread Connection: GZ 1/2″ external thread fits standard industrial ports without adapters
• Machined Brass Construction: Yellow brass body resists corrosion and maintains reliability in wet or harsh environments
• Hex Shoulder: Integrated hexagonal nut provides secure wrench engagement for tight, leak-free installation
• Smooth Bore: Clear internal passage ensures unobstructed flow for air, water, or light hydraulic applications

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High Demand SKU: Hose connectors are consumables in maintenance shops; stock rotation ensures steady turnover
• Universal Fit: The 1/2-inch thread size is common across pneumatic systems, compressors, and fluid distribution setups
• Bulk Margin Opportunity: Connectors sell in multiples—shops buy by the box for inventory replenishment
• Low Defect Rate: Brass is inherently durable; customer returns are rare, protecting your reputation

Why Choose This Connector

At this size, the 7–8mm barb suits smaller-diameter tubing common in instrument air, light pneumatic tools, and fluid delivery systems. The 1/2-inch thread is a practical sweet spot—larger than 1/4-inch for higher flow, yet smaller than 3/4-inch for compact mounting. Brass resists oxidation, keeping connections reliable over years of intermittent use.

Stock this as a core inventory item. It pairs well with tubing, quick-disconnect couplers, and other thread-based connectors in your catalog.
