Male Barbed Fitting 16mm x 3/4''

The Ezfitt Male Barbed Fitting 16mm x 3/4'' (Reference: 5416-1634) represents the ideal professional solution for all your connection needs in irrigation and watering systems. Manufactured from high-density polyethylene, this barbed fitting offers exceptional resistance to weather, UV rays and temperature variations, ensuring remarkable longevity in all usage conditions.

Applications and advantages for your installations

This male barbed fitting finds its place in numerous watering configurations: connecting 16mm flexible hoses to valves, solenoid valves, irrigation timers, or micro-irrigation systems. Its versatility makes it an essential element for amateur gardeners as well as landscape professionals.

The patented barbed system ensures optimal hose attachment without risk of slippage, even under high pressure. The studied geometry of the barbs allows easy insertion while maintaining perfect sealing, eliminating leaks and pressure losses often encountered with traditional fittings.

For professional applications, this fitting meets the requirements of agricultural irrigation installations, sports field watering systems, or greenhouse misting networks. Its compatibility with standard 3/4'' threading facilitates integration into all types of existing equipment.

Advanced technology and materials

The high-density polyethylene used in manufacturing this fitting presents exceptional mechanical properties. Its tensile and deformation resistance guarantees perfect performance even under significant stress. The material is naturally resistant to corrosion, chemicals commonly used in gardening, and thermal variations from -20°C to +60°C.

The barbs are precision-machined to optimize contact surface with the hose. Their specially designed profile uniformly distributes stress, avoiding concentration points that could damage the hose long-term. This technical design ensures maximum assembly durability.

The 3/4'' male threading complies with BSP (British Standard Pipe) international standards, guaranteeing universal compatibility with all market equipment. Precision machining of the thread pitch ensures smooth threading and optimal tightening without risk of seizing.

Installation and usage recommendations

Installing this barbed fitting requires no specialized tools. Simply push the 16mm hose onto the barbed section by applying firm, steady pressure. To facilitate the operation, especially in cold weather, it is advisable to soak the hose end in warm water for a few moments to soften it.

Once the hose is in place, verify that all barbs are properly engaged. Sealing is immediate and requires no additional sealing products. For the threaded connection, use PTFE tape or hemp according to your preferences, respecting the threading direction.

To optimize your installation's lifespan, avoid sharp bends in the hose near the fitting and protect the assembly from direct UV rays when possible. At season's end, complete system drainage will prevent freeze damage.

Maintenance is limited to occasional cleaning with clear water to remove lime or organic deposits. Polyethylene robustness allows cleaning with mild detergents without risk of degradation.
