- Uses lead-free brass to minimize corrosion and potential contaminant exposure in potable water lines.
- Maintains reliable performance under moderate pressure and temperature conditions typical of domestic water systems.
Practical tips for installation:
- For the barb end, secure the hose with an appropriate hose clamp to ensure a tight seal.
- For the PEX barb end, use the recommended PEX crimp or clamp method suited to your tubing size.
- Cut tubing squarely, then insert fully past the barb to maximize grip and prevent leaks.
- After assembly, perform a leak test at the system’s operating pressure before putting the line back into service.
