Size: 128 mm hose OD reduction. Material: brass, offering durability and corrosion resistance. Performance: suitable for general purpose use in low to moderate pressure fluid transfer applications. Specifications Quantity: 1 piece End connections: barbed ends for 12 mm and 8 mm outer diameter hoses Type: straight reducer connector (2way) Material: brass Hose compatibility: outer diameter 12 mm on one end, 8 mm on the other Applications and use cases Garden irrigation: transition from a 12 mm main hose to an 8 mm drip tubing line. Aquariums and ponds: connect larger supply hoses to smaller tubing for circulation or dosing lines. DIY plumbing and hobby projects: inline reduction in low to moderate pressure fluid systems, such as water lines, display fountains, or model setups. Installation tips Cut hoses square and cleanly to ensure a good seal. Slide the hose ends onto the barbs until fully seated. Secure with appropriate hose clamps to ensure a tight seal and prevent leakage. Inspect connections after initial operation and periodically during use. Care and maintenance Wipe dry after use and store in a dry area to prevent corrosion. Check hose clamps periodically and retighten if needed. Inspect barbs for wear or damage before reusing in critical systems. Note This fitting is intended for general purpose use with hoses having outer diameters of 12 mm and 8 mm. It is a straightforward, durable solution for joining hoses of different sizes in a single inline configuration.
