Made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. Relative softness of brass threading when compared to other metals allows for a tight seal. Barbed fitting creates a tight seal on flexible and semi-rigid hose when used with a hose clamp or crimp sleeve or ferrule. Hose fittings can connect, control, change the direction and terminate the flow in piping and hose systems.
