TruDesign Hose Tail – BSP Composite Hose Barb Fitting (Straight)

Create strong, reliable hose connections with the TruDesign Hose Tail—a premium straight hose barb fitting designed for marine plumbing systems.

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

Designed to convert threaded fittings (BSP/NPS) into hose connections, the TruDesign hose tail provides a secure and leak-resistant interface between ball valves, skin fittings, and flexible hose systems.

The integrated hose barb ridges ensure a firm grip when used with hose clamps, preventing hose slippage and maintaining a tight seal under pressure.

Unlike traditional bronze or metal fittings, TruDesign hose tails are completely corrosion-free and electrically non-conductive, eliminating electrolysis risks and extending the lifespan of your plumbing system.

Engineered for harsh marine conditions, these fittings are resistant to diesel, petrol, antifouling chemicals, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to +110°C), ensuring consistent performance across all boating environments.

Available in multiple sizes (13mm–50mm), the TruDesign hose tail is a core component for bilge, freshwater, sanitation, and deck wash systems.
