Brass Fittings

<h3>About Brass Fittings</h3><p>When a connection needs to hold — whether in a plumbing system, an engine bay, a fuel line, or a marine application — the material and craftsmanship of the fitting matter enormously. Brass Fittings has built its reputation on exactly that principle: delivering precision-engineered components made from high-quality brass and bronze alloys that stand up to pressure, vibration, and corrosion over the long haul.</p><p>Rooted in the manufacturing tradition of Jamnagar, India — a region recognized globally as a hub for world-class brass component production — and distributed through the established network of Midland Industries, this brand brings together old-world metallurgical expertise and modern machining precision. The result is a broad catalog of fittings, adapters, and accessories trusted by professionals across automotive, industrial, marine, and residential applications.</p><h3>Why Brass and Bronze?</h3><p>Brass and bronze alloys offer a compelling combination of properties that make them ideal for fluid and gas handling systems. They resist corrosion far better than plain steel, machine cleanly to tight tolerances, and create leak-free seals when properly installed. Unlike plastic alternatives, brass and bronze fittings can handle elevated temperatures and higher working pressures, making them the preferred choice in demanding environments.</p><p>At the heart of the Brass Fittings lineup are the brand&apos;s <a href="/7273-brass-fittings-brass-bronze-pipe-hose-fittings-200203">Brass &amp; Bronze Pipe &amp; Hose Fittings</a> — a comprehensive assortment of elbows, tees, couplings, nipples, crosses, adapters, and barbed connectors. Whether you&apos;re routing coolant lines, building a fuel system, or plumbing a compressor, these fittings offer the dimensional consistency and thread quality needed to ensure a proper seal every time.</p><h3>A Complete Fittings Solution</h3><p>Beyond the core brass and bronze lineup, the catalog extends into <a href="/7273-brass-fittings-pipe-fitting-17358">Pipe Fittings</a> that cover a wide range of thread types, configurations, and material grades — giving technicians and builders the flexibility to tackle both standard and specialized installations. From straight pipe nipples to reducing bushings and hex plugs, these components are the backbone of any fluid-routing system.</p><p>No fitting installation is complete without a proper seal on the threads. Brass Fittings addresses this with <a href="/7273-brass-fittings-thread-sealant-tape-17329">Thread Sealant Tape</a> — the go-to solution for creating leak-tight connections on tapered pipe threads. Using the right thread sealant alongside quality brass fittings is a small step that makes a significant difference in long-term reliability.</p><p>Rounding out the lineup are <a href="/7273-brass-fittings-nylon-pipe-to-hose-adapters-200725">Nylon Pipe to Hose Adapters</a>, which bridge the gap between rigid pipe systems and flexible hose runs. These lightweight, corrosion-resistant adapters are particularly useful in applications where dissimilar materials need to be joined cleanly and securely.</p><h3>Built for Professionals and DIYers Alike</h3><p>Whether you&apos;re a professional mechanic, a marine technician, an HVAC installer, or a dedicated DIYer, the Brass Fittings catalog offers the components needed to do the job right. The combination of proven alloy materials, precise machining, and a broad range of configurations makes this brand a reliable one-stop resource for connection hardware across virtually any system.</p>

Product Details

The Brass Fittings SHM1238 is a reducing hose barb splicer designed to connect two hoses with different inside diameters in a straight run. This fitting features a 1/2" barb on one end and a 3/8" barb on the other, allowing you to join hoses of different sizes for various fluid transfer applications.

Key Features:

  • White nylon construction for lightweight durability and chemical resistance
  • FDA approved material safe for potable water and food-grade applications
  • Dual barbed design creates a secure seal when used with hose clamps
  • Reduces from 1/2" ID hose to 3/8" ID hose
  • Corrosion-resistant plastic ideal for water, air, and compatible fluid lines
  • Easy installation with standard worm-drive or crimp-style hose clamps

This nylon hose barb reducer is suitable for a wide range of applications including potable water systems, marine plumbing, RV fresh water lines, aquarium setups, and general fluid transfer where FDA-approved materials are required. The barbed stems grip the inside diameter of flexible hose to create a leak-resistant connection when properly clamped.

Hopefully it fits my prius 08 touring no problem.

Took some doing but i did get to place my order.

After searching online I found the best price with free shipping here. Fast shipping and easy installation of my product.

This place is AWESOME!!! Thanks!!!

So far process has been very easy.

Easy ordering and great product lines. Emailed for an update on a item shipping from the manufacturer warehouse and it took about a week to get any response but it did come thru and the item is on its way.

Fast shipping. And great cust service.

Of 6 other vendors I'd found, every one listed the exact same price for the product. Autoplicity was well over 10% less. Although it's like an instinct for me to shop around & compare prices, I would expect that Autoplicity will be the hands down winner on any & all future purchases. I don't know how they do it...but who am I to question them saving me lots of money!!

I needed to verify the part was correct. The telephone staff was very helpful, professional and informed about your products.

great

The price was the lowest on the internet. And the shipping took 1 day. WOW, WOW, WOW! Ill be ordering from these guys again for sure! -Sean Hullender

Best price I could find! Shipped through UPS, great service.
