How do you match a thread-to-barb fitting to a fluid connection?
Thread-to-barb fittings connect flexible tubing to threaded ports on pumps, valves and other fluid-system components. The official overview identifies the thread specification, tubing inner diameter and material compatibility as the starting points for selection.
Threaded port
Match the thread specification and sealing arrangement to the mating port. A similar-looking thread is not enough to establish compatibility.Flexible tubing
Match the tubing inner diameter to the specified hose-barb connection. Review the tubing material and operating conditions as part of the complete connection.Fluid and operating conditions
Check all wetted materials against the fluid and cleaning process, then verify the assembled connection under its intended pressure and temperature.
