Spears 1436 Series PVC Tube Fitting, Adapter, Schedule 40, Gray, 1-1/2" Barbed x NPT Male

Used this to connect a homemade heating system to my pool. Works great..great quality and fit. No leaking

This 1/2 inch barb replaced the old barb fitting for my dishwasher drain hose.It gets screwed into a 1/2 PVC female thread, so I used non-hardening PTFE paste thread sealer approved for use with PVC.Works great, no leaks, and the barb fitting is fairly long for a good fit for the drain hose.This is a decent quality part, probably costs more than what you’ll find at the home improvement center, but free Prime delivery and no trip to the store makes it a good value.

These worked great for allowing my to tube in our pool chlorinator. they are sturdy and allowed me to tube it the auto chlorinator inline with the filter.

worked good

I have used these for a while when the threads on the male end of my garden hose corrode so badly (metal) that I can’t get the nozzle off. (I’ve since learned to use Vaseline, which helps, but metal is metal). I have to cut off that end (which I now do also with any new hose that has a metal end), and replace it with this piece.Neither Orbit or other “store” brands work. They say they are for a 5/8” hose, but in reality the stem that goes into hose end is always a bit too loose. Because of this, even when you try to secure it with the screw on piece over the hose and this piece, making it as tight as possible, the pressure of the water makes this piece pop out anyway, or you have water leaking from the connection.These are very sturdy and reliable. Once on, there’s no leakage from hose or nozzle, unlike those from other manufacturers.It takes a bit of effort to get this piece into hose end (be sure end of hose is evenly cut), but with a mallet it can be done with patience. I’m an older woman, so I don’t have the strength to maneuver this piece into a hose end by hand. Once it’s in, I still use the piece that screws on over the hose further securing this piece…just to be sure.My hoses here in FL get *a lot* of use, and the threads on this piece held up for a few years before getting worn enough to cause a slight leak from the nozzle. (Not to mention the nasty effects of the heat and sun on *everything* here.) I have to take the spray nozzle off regularly to attach the power washer, sprinklers, etc., so these pieces get a real workout almost 365 days a year with all my landscaping, etc. It would likely last much longer up north.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It's a plastic fitting.....really..... However, it was cheaper than others

Seller is great. Always gets the order right and on time.

Great quality
