Features and construction details

Type of fitting

• Hose fitting for flexible hose
• Female connection (threaded)
• Size: 3/8"x8

Material

The fitting is made of yellow brass, material commonly used in fittings for hydraulic and plant applications, thanks to its workability and good suitability for use in technical environments.

Product identification

• Manufacturer code: 1055C*8
• SKU: MAES00000084

Typical applications

A female hose connectors like this one is normally used when it is necessary to connect a flexible line (rubber hose or similar) to a component with a male threaded connection, for example in:

• Hydraulic systems and service lines
• Onboard systems and maintenance in the nautical field
• Technical connections where a transition is required thread → hose
• Localized restoration or replacement of fittings on existing lines

Choosing the size 3/8″x8 allows maintaining consistency with systems and components already sized on these references.

Advantages

• Functional solution to connect flexible hoses to female threaded connections
• Practical format for installations and maintenance
• Yellow brass: material widely used in technical fittings
• Clear coding (Maestrini 1055C*8) useful for reordering and spare parts management

Usage and installation notes

Checks before installation

For a correct choice of the fitting, it is good practice to check:

• the thread compatibility with the component to which it will be screwed (corresponding male fitting)
• the tube size to be inserted on the hose holder (reference “x8”)
• the condition of the tubing (elasticity, any hardening or cuts) before proceeding with tightening

Mounting the tube on the hose connector

Generally, the flexible hose is inserted onto the hose holder and secured with a suitable clamping system (for example a clamp), selected based on the type of hose and application. Ensure that the connection is complete and stable before commissioning the system.

Sealing on the threaded side

The sealing of the threaded connection depends on the type of threading and the sealing method provided by the system. In case of replacement on existing lines, it is advisable to replicate the sealing solution already adopted, verifying that the surfaces are clean and in good condition.

Important note

This product is identified as 3/8"x8 female hose holder in yellow brass. For specific applications (fluid, operating conditions, system regulations), always evaluate the overall configuration of the line and the correct selection of components.
