TruDesign Female Hose Tail – BSP Composite Hose Barb Fitting

Create secure, reliable hose connections in your marine plumbing system with the TruDesign Female Hose Tail—a high-quality composite fitting designed for durability and long-term performance in harsh marine environments.

Manufactured in New Zealand from glass-reinforced nylon composite, this hose tail delivers exceptional strength, stiffness, and impact resistance while remaining lightweight. Unlike traditional metal fittings, it is completely corrosion and electrolysis free, making it ideal for saltwater use.

The female BSP threaded connection allows it to screw directly onto skin fittings, ball valves, and other threaded marine fittings, creating a secure and leak-resistant connection.

Designed with integrated hose barb ridges, the fitting ensures excellent grip when used with hose clamps, preventing slippage and maintaining a tight seal even under pressure.

Engineered to withstand demanding conditions, TruDesign hose tails are resistant to fuel, chemicals, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to +110°C), ensuring long service life in all marine environments.

Available in a wide range of sizes, this fitting is ideal for bilge, freshwater, sanitation, and deck wash systems, making it a core component in any boat plumbing setup.
