Full Bore 1/2" Hose Barbs

[backyard brewer]

After looking high and low for a 1/2" barb fitting that didn't choke down to 3/8", I finally had one made:


Side X side with a standard 1/2" hose barb:

Nice ...

Very pretty!

How many did you have made and what did it run you?

[brahn]

More importantly, what will they run us?

[backyard brewer]

For BC members they're $10 each ($11 on the website) They're a little spendy compared to standard ones, but if you're running a March pump I really recommend people splurge for at least the inlet side of their pump(s).

I hate you Derrin. I hate you and your stainless steel beer porn. Damn you.


Now I am trying to count how many of these I have on my system and figuring out how much it's going to cost to replace them.

How about a female thread X barb one? That way I can leverage the existing QDs on my system like this one:

Mated to something like this:


MoreBeer sells the QDs with barb fittings rather than threaded, but I think the ID closer to 3/8.

Wait till you see the 1" tri clover butterfly valves with welded-in dip tubes/racking arms that I'm welding up right now

Depending on how these sell, I may have that version made as well. I thought about it originally, but it keeps coming back to that whole limited capital problem!

Well Brad, you're wish is my command.... The female version should be here in about 3 weeks +/-

It's all good until customs decides you don't really need those until Valentine's day (or was that St. Patrick's day).
