The TM5 accepts a 5\/8 inch inside diameter hose and features a barb size of 0.6875 inches, providing a secure mechanical grip that resists pull-out under working pressure. At 2.4063 inches in overall length and just 0.1 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for plumbing, irrigation, and light industrial fluid handling systems. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and maintenance professionals reach for this fitting when a quick, reliable hose repair or connection is needed without metal tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TM5 hose barb mender is used wherever flexible hose of 5\/8 inch ID requires a straight in-line connection or field repair. Typical applications include potable water supply lines, irrigation distribution tubing, light-duty chemical transfer, and HVAC condensate drain lines where nylon construction is appropriate for the fluid and operating conditions. The high tensile nylon material offers resistance to corrosion and many common chemicals, making it a practical choice over metal fittings in environments prone to oxidation or mild chemical exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8 inch inside diameter barb sizing for direct hose fit without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBarb diameter of 0.6875 inches provides positive grip and pull-out resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh tensile nylon construction resists corrosion and common chemicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverall length of 2.4063 inches keeps the mender compact within tight hose runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.1 pounds, reducing stress on hose assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece mender design simplifies installation with no additional hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard hose barb mender for flexible hose with a 5\/8 inch inside diameter.

Shut off fluid flow and relieve any system pressure before cutting into a hose line. Seat the barb fully into the hose end and secure with an appropriate hose clamp rated for the application pressure and fluid type. Follow applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC for potable water installations to confirm material suitability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Tensile Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMender Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hose Barb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarb Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.4063 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40141734\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIXON VALVE COUPLING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: TM5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DIXON VALVE \u0026 COUPLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694964113714,"sku":"TM5","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0ed534b13b24fb42bc80bfc15d04edfa.jpg?v=1788330035","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dixon-valve-coupling-tm5-hose-barb-5-8-inch-id-nylon","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
