Brass hose barb fitting male Tvardy for 6 mm hose — straight connector

Brass hose barb fitting male Tvardy for 6 mm hose — straight connector is a compact metal adapter designed to join flexible hoses to threaded or push-in connections. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant brass, this straight male barb provides a robust interface for fluid and air lines where a secure, leak-resistant joint is required. The smooth cylindrical barb profile ensures even hose compression when used with a suitable hose clamp.

Advantages

The brass construction offers durability and resistance to corrosion in common domestic and light industrial environments. Its straight design keeps flow path friction low and enables easy alignment of hoses in confined spaces. The precise barb geometry promotes a tight hold on 6 mm inner-diameter hoses and reduces the likelihood of slippage when clamped. The metal-to-hose connection withstands repeated assembly and disassembly better than many plastic alternatives.

Suitable for

• Plumbing repairs and small water supply lines
• Pneumatic lines and low-pressure air systems
• Irrigation and garden hose connections
• Aquarium tubing and pond equipment
• Workshop and machinery cooling or lubricant lines

Key specifications

• Material: brass (corrosion-resistant)
• Connector type: straight male hose barb
• Compatible hose inner diameter: 6 mm
• Suitable for fluids and low-pressure air
• Installation method: push-on with hose clamp recommended

How to use

Select a hose with a 6 mm inner diameter and slide a suitable hose clamp onto the hose before fitting. Push the hose firmly over the barb until it reaches the base shoulder, ensuring full engagement along the barb length. Position the hose clamp over the barb area and tighten evenly to achieve a secure, leak-resistant seal. For threaded or panel-mounted applications, screw or secure the male end as required, observing thread compatibility and sealing needs for the mating part.

Usage recommendations

Use a compatible hose clamp sized for 6 mm hose to ensure a reliable seal. Avoid exposing the fitting to aggressive chemicals or pressures beyond the rating of the hose and clamp. Inspect hose connections periodically for wear or loosening, and replace the fitting if visible corrosion or mechanical damage appears.
