Newage Industries 5011188 Barbed Hose Union 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The NEWAGE INDUSTRIES 5011188 is a barbed tube hose union designed to join two sections of flexible tubing with a 3/8 inch inner diameter. Constructed from polyethylene, this fitting provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant connection suitable for low-pressure fluid transfer applications. The double-barbed design creates a secure grip on tubing without the need for threaded connections or adhesives. It is REACH and RoHS compliant, making it appropriate for use in environmentally regulated settings. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, pool service professionals, and industrial maintenance crews commonly install this type of fitting in fluid handling systems.

This hose union is suited for residential and light commercial applications where flexible polyethylene or compatible soft tubing is used. Typical installation scenarios include water distribution lines, chemical transfer tubing, irrigation systems, and pool or spa plumbing circuits. The barbed ends seat into the tubing bore and are typically secured with clamps for a leak-resistant joint. It is packaged in a quantity of 10 units per pack, making it practical for service technicians who install multiple connections in a single job.

Key Features

• Barbed union design joins two lengths of 3/8 inch ID flexible tubing
• Polyethylene construction offers corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility
• REACH and RoHS compliant for use in regulated environments
• Double-barb geometry provides mechanical grip without adhesives or threading
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for multi-connection service work

Compatibility

Designed for use with flexible tubing having a 3/8 inch inner diameter. Suitable for polyethylene and similarly flexible soft tubing used in water, irrigation, and light-duty fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Power down or shut off the fluid supply before cutting into any active line. Insert each barbed end fully into the tubing bore to ensure the barb ridges seat past the tubing wall. Secure each end with an appropriately sized hose clamp to reduce the risk of pull-out under pressure. Verify the fitting and tubing materials are compatible with the fluid being transferred before placing the system back into service.
