Boat Female-to-Hose Barb Plumbing Adapter – Easy, Leak-Free Hose Connections for Your Boat
Whether you're setting up a bilge pump, freshwater line, or livewell system, connecting flexible hoses to threaded plumbing components is a common task. A female-to-hose barb adapter makes that job simple, giving you a secure and watertight connection between a threaded fitting and a hose.
What Is a Female-to-Hose Barb Adapter?
This adapter has two ends:
-
A female threaded end that screws onto a male-threaded fitting, like a pump outlet or water tank valve.
-
A barbed end that slides into a flexible hose and grips it tightly when secured with a hose clamp.
It’s the go-to fitting when you need to connect a hose to a threaded part of your boat’s plumbing system.
Why Do You Need One?
Marine plumbing systems often use a mix of rigid components and flexible hoses. This adapter bridges the two, making it easy to route hoses through tight spaces or connect to existing hardware—without leaks or complicated setups.
How Does It Work?
You simply screw the female threaded end onto the male-threaded fitting, then slide your hose over the barbed end. Finish by tightening a hose clamp around the hose to ensure a secure, leak-proof seal.
Choosing the Right Adapter
We offer female-to-hose barb adapters in a range of thread sizes and hose diameters, along with durable materials like marine-grade brass, nylon, and stainless steel. Each is designed to resist corrosion and hold up to the demands of life on the water.
