Brass hose fitting Tvardy male 13 mm (barbed) for 13mm hose

Brass hose fitting Tvardy male 13 mm (barbed) for 13mm hose is a solid brass push-on connector designed for 13 mm internal-diameter hoses. The barbed (ribbed) shank provides a secure mechanical grip when combined with a hose clamp, while the male thread or spigot end enables a straightforward connection to compatible fittings or adapters. Intended for water, air and other low-pressure fluid lines, this brass fitting offers corrosion resistance and dimensional stability suitable for garden, irrigation, workshop and DIY applications that require a 13 mm barbed connection.

Advantages

This brass male hose fitting delivers reliable mechanical retention due to its barbed profile, reducing the risk of hose slippage under typical low-pressure conditions. Brass construction resists rust and offers durability in outdoor and indoor environments exposed to water. The compact design and smooth finish allow easy insertion into a 13 mm hose and a tight seal when used with an appropriate hose clamp. Compatibility with common fluid types such as water and compressed air makes the fitting versatile for multiple practical tasks.

Suitable for

• Garden and irrigation supply lines using 13 mm hoses
• Low-pressure compressed air connections in workshop setups
• DIY plumbing and fluid routing for sinks, pumps or tanks with 13 mm hose
• Temporary or permanent hose joins where push-on barbed fittings are acceptable

Key specifications

• Material: solid brass
• Connection type: barbed (ribbed) push-on shank
• Hose internal diameter compatibility: 13 mm
• Intended media: water, air, and other low-pressure fluids
• Typical applications: gardening, irrigation, workshop and DIY

How to use

Select a 13 mm internal-diameter hose that is clean and free of damage. Slide an appropriately sized hose clamp onto the hose before inserting the barbed end. Push the barbed shank fully into the hose until the hose end contacts the fitting shoulder. Position the hose clamp over the barb area and tighten to achieve a secure seal without over-compressing the hose. If connecting to threaded or push-fit adapters, ensure mating surfaces are compatible and leak-free before applying system pressure.

Usage recommendations

Use with a stainless-steel or zinc-plated hose clamp rated for the application; avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals or high temperatures beyond the rating of brass and the hose material. For pressurized systems, test at low pressure first and inspect connections periodically for signs of wear or leakage.
