The SSMA05 Boshart Industries 304 Stainless Steel Male Barbed Insert Adaptor is a compact, heavy-duty fitting designed to connect polyethylene pipe to threaded plumbing systems with dependable strength and corrosion resistance. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, it features a 1/2" male pipe thread (MPT) on one end and a 1/2" barbed insert on the other, allowing a secure transition between PE tubing and threaded pipe. The multiple-barb insert design grips polyethylene pipe firmly when used with hose clamps, helping create a strong, leak-resistant connection for irrigation, water supply, and agricultural plumbing systems.
