Barrow 1/2" to 3/8" Barbed Reducer Fitting - Black (TBJB3-4)

The Barrow TBJB3-4 is a soft tube reducer that joins a tube with a 1/2" inner diameter to a tube with a 3/8" inner diameter. Barrow calls it a 1/2" to 3/8" tube adapter. Each end is a ribbed barb that the tube is pushed over, with a diamond-knurled collar in the middle, and the body is H59 brass finished in black.

Join two tube sizes

Push a 1/2" ID tube over the large barb and a 3/8" ID tube over the small one, and the two runs are joined without any threaded part in between. That helps when a loop mixes tube sizes, for example when a part comes with short 3/8" hoses.

Ribbed barbs

Each end has raised ribs that grip the inside of the tube. For extra security you can add a hose clamp over each tube end; clamps are not included.

Brass with a double-protected finish

Barrow says it uses H59 brass for the body and protects the surface with a double electroplating process, which it says gives a fine texture that is solid and durable.

Non-slip diamond knurling

The center collar has a diamond knurl. Barrow says it gives a sure grip when you handle the fitting.
