TruDesign Aquavalve Hose Tails – BSP Composite Hose Barb Fittings

Create secure, reliable hose connections with TruDesign Aquavalve Hose Tails—precision-engineered composite hose barb fittings designed specifically for use with TruDesign Aquavalve systems.

Manufactured in New Zealand from glass-reinforced nylon composite, these hose tails provide exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion and electrolysis, making them ideal for long-term use in harsh marine environments.

Designed with a parallel BSP thread, these fittings integrate seamlessly with TruDesign Aquavalves, 3-way connectors, and bulkhead fittings, forming a reliable and leak-free system.

The long hose tail barb design ensures maximum grip when used with hose clamps, preventing hose slippage and deformation under load. For optimal performance, twin hose clamps are recommended, especially in critical marine plumbing systems.

A unique feature of the Aquavalve hose tails is the integrated blue sealing washer, which allows the fitting to be rotated after tightening—ensuring perfect alignment of hoses without compromising the seal.

Built for demanding conditions, these fittings are resistant to diesel, petrol, antifouling chemicals, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to +110°C), ensuring long service life and consistent performance.

Available in multiple sizes (19mm, 25mm, 32mm, and 38mm), these hose tails are ideal for bilge, sanitation, grey water, and deck wash systems.
