Q: How does brass construction compare to plastic hose fittings? A: Brass offers superior durability and pressure resistance compared to plastic fittings, making it ideal for professional workshop environments. It won't crack under pressure changes or temperature extremes, resists corrosion from moisture and chemicals, and maintains precise threads longer for repeated connections without wearing out or stripping.

Q: Do I need a hose clamp with this barbed fitting? A: While hose clamps provide extra security for high-pressure applications, the barbed design grips tightly inside 1/4" ID hoses without requiring clamps for most standard shop air applications up to 150 PSI. For heavy-duty industrial use or pressure washers exceeding 200 PSI, adding a hose clamp ensures maximum security.
