Chrome-Plated Hose Barb Fitting, 10 x 12mm

Brief Overview

The OP40P is a straightforward, durable hose barb fitting engineered for dependable connections in pneumatic and fluid transfer applications. This chrome-plated brass adapter secures 10 x 12mm hose with a barbed tail design that resists pull-off under operational pressure. The hexagonal nut section allows wrench-tight installation into manifolds or block fittings. For shops managing mixed hose inventory, consider pairing this with barb connectors in smaller sizes to cover a broader range of pneumatic configurations.

Key Features

• Chrome-plated finish – Corrosion resistance and professional appearance for industrial and mobile applications
• Barbed tail design – Two annular ridges grip hose securely; minimizes leakage and accidental disconnection
• Hexagonal nut section – Enables precise wrench-tightening into threaded ports or manifold blocks
• 10 x 12mm hose compatibility – Matches standard European hose sizing (10mm inner diameter, 12mm outer diameter)
• Compact, tapered geometry – Space-efficient installation in tight manifold configurations

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High-velocity inventory move – Hose barb fittings are consumable-adjacent; customers reorder regularly as hoses wear or system configurations change
• Margin-friendly pricing – Simple, standardized component with low manufacturing cost supports healthy reseller margins
• Essential for system builders – Any shop assembling custom pneumatic circuits or maintaining air tool systems requires multiple sizes; stock depth drives repeat orders
• Minimal shelf degradation – Chrome-plated brass doesn't oxidize or corrode in storage; no expiration concerns
