bulletproof Report post Posted June 24, 2017 Good day peeps,Got a quick question on pvc hose barbs. I'm currently running 5/8 outlet hose on my fb setup. I've been using poly barbs for the last few years but they break and leak very often, so I want to switch them out to pvc. Problem is I can't find a 1/2 x 5/8 pvc barb, so I'm wondering if I should just use 1/2 x 1/2 pvc barb and get them crimped on, or can anyone suggest where I might be able to get a 5/8 pvc barb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Advantage Roof Cleaning Report post Posted July 3, 2017 I saw someone using brass barbed fittings. That would certainly resolve the issue of breaking. Yes they do corrode but would they be problematic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PressureWasherProducts Report post Posted July 30, 2017 I have every size imaginable in sch 80 pvc hose barbs in stock and ready to ship via UPS OR USPS Priority or whatever you need!We have jump sizes in just about every configuration. Poly fittings are too soft and the fiberglass mixed in ends up being the failing component. Get rid of the extra camlocks while you're at it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, BRONZE has equal or better SH resistance as stainless steel, and Hastelloy is the best metal. 1 Roof Cleaning Virginia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
