TruDesign Unequal Hose Tail Glass Reinforced Marine Hose Barb

The TruDesign Unequal Hose Tail is a premium marine plumbing fitting designed to connect different hose sizes while providing a secure, leak-resistant connection to threaded marine plumbing systems. Manufactured in New Zealand from glass-reinforced nylon composite, these unequal hose tails offer exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability in harsh marine environments. TruDesign unequal hose tails are specifically engineered for connecting different hose diameters while eliminating the corrosion and electrolysis issues associated with traditional bronze or brass fittings. Ideal for boat plumbing upgrades, engine cooling systems, bilge pumps, live bait tanks, sanitation systems, freshwater systems, and washdown installations, TruDesign unequal hose tails provide a lightweight, high-performance alternative to metallic fittings. The unequal hose barb design allows different hose sizes to be joined to the same threaded fitting, making them ideal when adapting or upgrading existing marine plumbing systems. Manufactured using high-strength glass-reinforced nylon composite, these fittings are immune to corrosion, electrolysis, and dezincification while remaining highly resistant to diesel, petrol, antifouling chemicals, and UV exposure. Unlike metal hose tails, TruDesign fittings require no electrical bonding and will not suffer from corrosion in saltwater installations. Compatible with BSP and NPS threaded marine fittings, TruDesign Unequal Hose Tails are suitable for recreational boats, yachts, launches, commercial vessels, and marine service applications throughout New Zealand.
