Thread sizes range from 1\/8\" to 3\/8\" BSP, and barb tail diameters span 6 mm to 16 mm (approximately 1\/4\" to 5\/8\"), covering the most common hose bore sizes used in light industrial and DIY applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical use cases include connecting flexible rubber or PVC hose to threaded ports on pumps, compressors, and manifolds; building custom fuel-line assemblies for small engines and generators; and retrofitting irrigation or coolant circuits where a secure, corrosion-resistant barb-to-thread transition is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e⚙️\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits standard BSP (BSPP \/ G-thread) female ports.
