This brass fuel hose connector is designed to securely join hoses in your boat’s fuel system. It comes in three sizes (6.35 mm, 7.9 mm, or 9.5 mm inner diameter) covering the standard fuel hose dimensions used with outboard engines and portable fuel tanks. The brass material offers excellent resistance to gasoline, diesel, and saltwater corrosion, ensuring long-lasting reliability.
The connector is a straight coupling (barb) – each end inserts into a hose of the corresponding diameter, creating a snug fit. For best results, it is recommended to fasten each end with a hose clamp after connection. This brass union helps maintain uninterrupted fuel flow and prevents leaks, making it easier to extend or repair fuel lines on board.
- Sizes: 6.35 mm ID (ideal for small engines and generators), 7.9 mm ID (common size for many outboard motors), 9.5 mm ID (for higher fuel flow on larger engines).
- Use Cases: Perfect for joining two hose segments when extending a fuel line or replacing a damaged section, as well as for installing inline fuel filters or primer bulbs in the line.
- Advantages: Brass will not rust and withstands high temperatures, keeping the connection reliable even in harsh marine environments. It maintains its strength after prolonged exposure to fuel.
- Tip: Ensure you choose the correct size that matches your fuel hose’s inner diameter to achieve a tight, leak-free seal. When installing, push the hose fully over the barb and tighten with a hose clamp for optimal security.
