3/8 "x12 yellow brass female hose fitting - code: 1055C*12 - Maestrini

Female hose holder 3/8"x12 in yellow brass Maestrini (code 1055C*12)

The female hose holder 3/8"x12 in yellow brass Maestrini, identified by code 1055C*12, is a fitting designed to neatly connect a line with a female fitting to a flexible hose. It is a typical solution in the field of hydraulics and fittings, useful when you want to create or restore a connection between threaded components and rubber or equivalent material tubing, maintaining a practical and easily inspectable setup.

Features and details of the fitting

The component is a female hose connectors: on one side it has a female fitting, on the other a hose profile designed for tube insertion. The combination 3/8″x12 identifies the sizes stated in the product name.

• Type: hose connector with fitting female
• Size: 3/8″x12
• Material: yellow brass
• Brand / supplier: Maestrini
• Supplier product code: 1055C*12

The’yellow brass is a material commonly used in fittings for its workability and use in many installation applications. In technical contexts, the choice of material and connector geometry helps achieve a clean connection consistent with the rest of the system.

Identification and consistency in stock

To facilitate spare parts management and correspondence with bills of materials or technical documentation, the product is identified by the Maestrini code 1055C*12. When reordering or replacing, always verify that the size 3/8″x12 both that required by the system and that the type of connection (female) is compatible with the counterpart component.

Typical applications

A female hose connector is normally used when it is necessary to connect a flexible hose to an element with a corresponding male thread, or to an adapter/valve/tap provided. In nautical and plant engineering fields, this type of fitting can be useful in many service lines, always respecting the circuit specifications and materials used.

• Maintenance and repairs of lines with flexible hose, where it is necessary to restore a connection with a female fitting.
• Making connections between threaded components and hose pipes in technical systems.
• Onboard systems and general nautical applications, where brass fittings are frequently present.
• Setups and retrofit on existing systems, when you want to maintain a simple and easily available solution.

Practical advantages

A female hose connector in yellow brass offers some typical advantages in terms of connection management and installation convenience.

• Neat solution to switch from a threaded connection to a flexible hose.
• Practical format for maintenance and component replacement interventions.
• Common material in technical fittings, useful to maintain consistency with existing systems.
• Clear identification through product code 1055C*12 and size 3/8″x12, useful for reorders and spare parts.

Usage and installation notes

For correct assembly, it is good practice to check compatibility between:

• Threading of the counterpart component and connection female 3/8" of the fitting (as required by the system).
• Hose diameter and size 12 indicated in the hose connector designation.
• Condition of the tube: a stiffened, damaged or unsuitable hose can compromise the quality of the connection.

During installation, ensure that the hose is properly inserted onto the hose connector and that the tightening (for example with a suitable clamp, if provided by your assembly standard) is done evenly. If the system requires specific materials or procedures, follow the manufacturer's instructions and the workshop practices adopted.
