Hexagonal bar M 3/8 "x12 - code: 1057C*12 - Maestrini

Hose holder in M Maestrini hexagonal bar 3/8″x12 (code 1057C*12)

The hose holder in hexagonal bar M Maestrini, code 1057C*12, is a fitting designed to practically connect a threaded line to a flexible hose. The construction in yellow brass and the geometry hexagonal makes it suitable for plant engineering and maintenance contexts where reliable components that are easy to install with common tools are required.

This version is identified by the size 3/8″x12 and is part of the Maestrini range dedicated to fittings for technical applications, including typical uses in nautical and onboard plant engineering, where order, accessibility, and replaceability of components are important aspects in system management.

Features and construction details

The hose connector is designed to provide a connection point between a threaded part and a flexible hose. The hexagonal bar facilitates grip during tightening and removal, contributing to a neater and more controllable assembly, especially in technical spaces where access may be limited.

Material

The component is made of yellow brass. This material is commonly used in fittings for its workability and suitability for many plant applications. When choosing, it is always good practice to verify the compatibility of the material with the fluid and the installation environment.

Hexagonal shape for tightening

The hexagonal section is designed to allow the use of standard wrenches and tools. This detail helps in operations of:

• installation and positioning of the fitting;
• maintenance and scheduled replacement;
• disassembly in case of interventions on the system.

Product size and identification

The product is identified by:

• Size: 3/8″x12
• Maestrini Code: 1057C*12

To avoid errors when ordering or replacing, it is recommended to always compare the size indicated on the existing component (if present) and to refer to the product code when requesting assistance or spare parts.

Typical applications

A hose connector like this is normally used when a connection must be made between a line with a threaded fitting and a flexible hose, in a simple and inspectable way. In technical and nautical fields, it can be used in many plant configurations, for example on service lines and auxiliary circuits, where connection management must remain clear and easily maintainable.

Plant engineering and maintenance

Thanks to the hexagonal shape and brass construction, the fitting is suitable for interventions of:

• creation or modification of sections with flexible hose;
• restoration of existing connections with replacement of the fitting;
• line setup where a compact and easily tightened component is useful.

Usage contexts (nautical and onboard systems)

In the nautical context, choosing the correct and easily inspectable fittings is important to keep the system organized and reduce intervention times. This hose connector can be among the components used in onboard systems where flexible pipes and threaded connections are present, provided that compatibility is verified case by case based on the circuit and the materials already installed.

Operational advantages

Simpler and more controllable installation

The hexagonal bar helps manage tightening with greater control, reducing the risk of tool slippage compared to smooth shapes. This is particularly useful when working in technical compartments or near other components.

Identifiable spare part and warehouse management

The presence of a product code (1057C*12) and a clearly indicated size (3/8″x12) facilitate:

• correct identification of the spare part;
• standardization of stock;
• reduction of errors during reordering.

Practical solution to connect hose and threading

The hose connector is a functional solution when you want to connect a flexible hose to a threaded line without resorting to more complex configurations. In many installations, the simplicity of the connection also helps make visual inspection and routine maintenance more immediate.

Usage and installation notes

To achieve correct assembly, it is important to verify the correspondence of sizes and compatibility with the hose and the threaded part of the system. Below are some general indications, useful as an operational reminder.

Preliminary check

• Size check: ensuring that the 3/8″x12 size is consistent with the intended application and with the components already present.
• Material check: assess the compatibility of the brass with the fluid and the working environment.
• Tube condition: use a hose in good condition, with a clean cut and without crushing in the insertion area.

Mounting the tube on the hose connector

In general, the hose insertion on the hose connector requires that the hose is correctly sized and fixed with a suitable tightening system (e.g., clamp), chosen based on the system and the maintenance procedures adopted. After assembly, a visual check of alignment and insertion is recommended.

Tightening and maintenance

During tightening, the hexagonal shape allows the use of appropriate wrenches. During maintenance, it is good practice to periodically inspect the connections and intervene in case of hose wear or the need to restore the fitting. For spare part requests or to standardize components, refer to the Maestrini code 1057C*12.
