When a leaking joint or a mismatched connector brings your irrigation project to a halt, you need a fitting that threads on cleanly and holds under pressure. These PVC hose barb fittings with male thread (AG) are designed for DIY homeowners, gardeners, and plumbing enthusiasts who need a dependable, corrosion-resistant connection between rigid pipe and flexible hose.
Each PVC hose barb fitting consists of a barbed hose tail and an external male thread (AG), molded from rigid PVC for chemical and UV resistance. Available in pipe sizes 1/2" x 8mm, 1/2" x 10mm, 1/2" x 12mm, 1/2" x 16mm, 3/4" x 12mm, and 3/4" x 16mm (approximately 20–41mm outer diameter range), and offered in White, Grey, and Blue finishes. Sold individually or in packs of 2, 5, 10, or 30 pieces.
Typical use cases include connecting garden hose to threaded faucet outlets for drip irrigation systems, joining flexible tubing to PVC pipe manifolds in DIY water distribution setups, and securing hose barb-to-thread transitions in low-pressure water supply lines and aquarium or pond plumbing circuits.

Match the barb diameter to the inner diameter (ID) of your flexible hose. For example, if your hose has a 12mm inner diameter, select the 12mm barb variant. A barb that is slightly larger than the hose ID creates a tighter, more leak-resistant seal.
The male thread (AG) on these fittings is compatible with BSP (British Standard Pipe) parallel threads, which are widely used in plumbing and irrigation systems. If your system uses NPT threads, please verify compatibility before ordering, as BSP and NPT are not interchangeable without adapters.
These fittings are made from rigid PVC and are intended for general water applications such as irrigation, garden hose connections, and pond or aquarium plumbing. For potable (drinking) water applications, please confirm that the specific product meets your local regulatory standards before use.
Rigid PVC fittings are well-suited for low-to-medium pressure water systems typical of garden irrigation and DIY plumbing. For exact pressure ratings, refer to the variant specifications or contact us to confirm. Always use a hose clamp over the barb for installations subject to higher flow rates or vibration.
PVC is inherently resistant to corrosion, rust, and most common garden chemicals. It performs well in outdoor environments, though prolonged direct UV exposure over many years may cause surface discoloration. For exposed outdoor installations, consider shading the fitting or using UV-stabilized PVC where available.
Yes — applying PTFE (thread seal) tape to the male thread before installation is recommended to ensure a watertight seal and prevent thread galling. Wrap the tape clockwise (when viewed from the thread end) 2–3 times before threading into the female port.
Yes. The male thread end connects to any compatible female-threaded rigid pipe fitting, valve, or manifold port, while the barbed tail is designed to grip flexible PVC or rubber hose. This makes them ideal transition fittings between rigid and flexible sections of a water system.
