How much pressure can a barbed fitting hold?

Barbed style fittings are limited to relatively low pressures (usually below 150 or 125 psi) due to the limitations of the soft and flexible tubing. Barb style fittings also have smaller waterways than push-to-connects or compression fittings.

Can a coupling be used with a hose barb termination?

A very common method is using a coupling or fitting with a hose barb termination. But it isn’t quite that easy. A secure and reliable connection is really determined by how well the fitting and tubing work together. Selecting the proper hose barb is just as important as the choice of tubing.

How does one hose barb affect a barbed wire fitting?

As a tube is installed on the fitting, it expands over the barb. Grip and seal occur as the tube tries to relax to its original inside diameter behind the barb. For most applications, one hose barb on a fitting provides 100% of the sealing and most of the holding force for a tubing termination.
