Brass Hose Fittings – The Measure of a Good Connection    En Español 
Brass hose fittings often are taken for granted – until you need to order a new lot.
If you don’t know the part number and manufacturer, it’s easy to end up with the wrong size, meaning more downtime and higher costs for your company as you return the wrong ones and wait for the correct brass hose fittings to appear.

But you can avoid such pitfalls by knowing a few simple facts about your brass hose fittings:

1. The size of the water passage.
2. The thread size of your manifold or mold ports.
3. The hose size.

The size of the water passage that connects to your brass hose fittings is usually easy to eyeball. If you’re not sure, check the fitting to see if it has one of three series numbers on it:

1. 200 series – 1/4" water passage
2. 300 series – 3/8" water passage
3. 500 series – 1/2" water passage

IMS also offers a handy tool that measures water passage dimensions that you can keep right on your maintenance cart.
Aside from the thread size, you’ll want to see if you need male or female threads or if you need extensions before you order your brass hose fittings.
Knowing the hose size allows you to select the right barb size for your brass hose fittings – you’ll want to know, too, if the barb is angled.
