TDM Brass Hose Connector 1/4 inch to 10 mm Internal Thread

The TDM Brass hose connector is a robust and reliable fitting engineered for establishing secure connections between flexible hoses and threaded piping systems. Designed with precision, this component features a 1/4 inch internal thread on one side and a 10 mm barb connection on the other, facilitating a stable and leak-proof interface for fluid transfer. Constructed from high-quality brass, the connector provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, ensuring consistent performance in both domestic plumbing setups and demanding industrial environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this brass hose connector lies in its durable material composition, which withstands significant temperature fluctuations and resists rust over extended periods of use. Its precise machining ensures a tight fit, minimizing the risk of leaks and pressure drops within the system. Furthermore, the compact design allows for easy installation in confined spaces, making it a versatile solution for various fluid management tasks where reliability and longevity are essential requirements.

Suitable for

• Connecting flexible hoses to threaded valves or pipes
• Domestic water supply and irrigation systems
• Industrial fluid transfer and pneumatic applications
• Maintenance and repair of plumbing equipment

When it may not be suitable

This connector is not intended for use with high-pressure steam systems or highly corrosive chemical substances that may react with brass. It is also not suitable for applications requiring specialized food-grade materials or specific certifications not covered by standard brass fittings.

Key specifications

• Material: High-quality brass
• Thread type: 1/4 inch internal thread
• Barb diameter: 10 mm
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to +120°C

How to use

To install the connector, ensure the threaded end is clean and free of debris. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the 1/4 inch male thread of your existing system before screwing the connector on. Once the threaded side is secure, slide the 10 mm hose over the barbed end. For optimal security, it is recommended to use a hose clamp to prevent the hose from slipping off under pressure.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size of your existing pipe or valve
• Measure the internal diameter of your hose to ensure a 10 mm fit
• Check if the operating temperature of your system falls within the specified range
• Ensure the brass material is compatible with the fluid being transported

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for signs of wear or leakage, especially in systems subject to frequent vibration or thermal cycling. Always ensure the hose is fully seated on the barb before tightening the clamp to maintain a secure seal.
