Marine Vultail 1 1/2in x 1 1/4in Black Plastic Straight Barbed Hose Reducer RWB3019

Marine Vultail 1 1/2in x 1 1/4in Black Plastic Straight Barbed Hose Reducer

This Vultail black plastic fitting joins two hoses with different internal diameters, using a 1 1/2 inch hose end and a 1 1/4 inch hose end. The straight body keeps the hose connections in line while changing size between them. Check the internal diameter of each hose separately. The 1 1/2 inch end and 1 1/4 inch end serve different hose sizes, so identify which side of the run uses each connection before assembling it. A reducer changes the connection size; it does not establish the flow rate available to the connected equipment. The body material and connection layout make it a size-specific water fitting; they do not establish universal compatibility with every onboard hose, pump or pipe system. Compare the complete connection arrangement before choosing a replacement, especially where more than one nominal size or thread type is present.

Choosing and using this product

Use hose with the appropriate internal diameter and condition, seat it correctly on each barb, and choose fastening hardware for the assembled hose outside diameter. Leave access to tighten and inspect the hose connections. Lay out the straight connection with enough room for both hoses to seat fully, and keep the hose sections supported on each side of the change in size. Do not select a clamp from the hose inside diameter alone; the hose wall and the fitting underneath it determine the outside diameter at the joint. Avoid a hose route that creates a sharp bend beside the barb. Confirm any required working pressure, temperature limit and fluid suitability with the supplier before using the fitting in a demanding application. After assembly, inspect the connection for leakage using the procedure appropriate to the complete system, and retain access for routine checks.
