TruDesign Hose Tail Connector – Composite Straight Hose Joiner (Inline)

Create strong, reliable hose connections with the TruDesign Hose Tail Connector—a high-quality inline hose joiner designed for connecting two hoses of the same diameter in marine plumbing systems.

Manufactured in New Zealand from glass-reinforced nylon composite, this connector delivers exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion and electrolysis, making it ideal for long-term use in saltwater environments.

The straight inline design allows you to seamlessly join hoses of equal size, making it perfect for extending hose runs or repairing damaged sections without needing complex fittings.

Featuring a twin-barb hose tail design, this connector ensures a secure grip when used with hose clamps, preventing slippage and hose collapse under pressure—critical for maintaining leak-free performance onboard.

Built to withstand harsh marine conditions, the fitting is resistant to diesel, petrol, antifouling chemicals, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to +110°C), ensuring long-lasting performance across a wide range of applications.

Available in a wide range of sizes (13mm–50mm), this connector is a versatile solution for bilge, freshwater, sanitation, and deck wash systems.
