Brass Hose Connector, 7–8mm / 5/16″ Barb to GZ 1/4″ Male Thread

Overview

This brass hose connector is a straightforward, durable solution for joining flexible hose to threaded pneumatic or fluid system ports. The barbed design grips securely into 7–8mm (5/16″) hose, while the 1/4″ male thread accepts standard ports and manifolds. Built from solid brass with a machined finish, it resists corrosion and delivers consistent performance in workshop and industrial environments. Pair this connector with larger bore hose adapters or a 1/2″ thread variant to cover your full system requirements.

Key Features

• Barbed Hose Tail: Three concentric barbs ensure secure grip on 7–8mm (5/16″) flexible hose
• Male Threaded Port: GZ 1/4″ thread for direct connection to pneumatic ports, regulators, and manifolds
• Brass Construction: Corrosion-resistant, durable material suitable for compressed air and light fluid applications
• Hex Nut Section: Wrench-friendly flat for secure tightening without risk of deformation
• Machined Finish: Smooth, polished surface; professional appearance with no sharp edges

Why Resellers Profit From This Connector

• Bulk Stock Appeal: Compact, lightweight connector—easy to stock multiple quantities without significant warehouse footprint.
• High Turn Rate: Essential consumable-adjacent item; customers order in volume when setting up pneumatic systems or replacing worn hose assemblies.
• Margin Friendly: Low production cost relative to resale price; strong markup potential on box quantities.
• Cross-Sell Opportunity: Customers purchasing one size often need multiple thread and barb combinations—stack orders naturally.
• System Building: Position as a core component in hose assembly kits or pneumatic system packages.

Technical Context for Your Customers

This connector is designed for the smaller bore end of pneumatic systems. It suits applications where 7–8mm hose delivers compressed air to tools, actuators, or moisture traps. The barbs prevent hose slip-off under normal pressure cycling, while the brass thread resists galling when installed into aluminum or steel manifolds. For heavier-duty systems, recommend upgrading to 10mm or 12mm barb sizes or higher thread ratings like 3/8″ or 1/2″.
