Product Description

This Thogus hose fitting is made of white nylon and connects hose to threaded pipe conforming to the National Pipe Thread (NPT) standard. This branch tee connects to hose on the two straight or run ends by barbed fittings to create a tight seal on flexible and semi-rigid hose when used with a hose clamp or crimp sleeve or ferrule (sold separately). A male NPT fitting connects to threaded pipe on the branch. Nylon is used for strength, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion, crushing, and cracking. The fitting meets standards set by NSF International Consumer Products Division for health and safety, and complies with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) international directives for hazardous materials. Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness). Thogus manufactures injection molded plastic tube and hose fittings. The company, founded in 1950 and headquartered in Avon Lake, OH, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001:2008.
