Female hose connector 1/4"x8 yellow brass – code: 1055B*8 – Maestrini

Maestrini female hose tail in yellow brass

The female hose connector 1/4″ x 8 in yellow brass Maestrini (code 1055B*8is a fitting designed to conveniently connect a flexible hose to a female threaded connection. It is a typical solution in the field hydraulics and plant engineering, useful when it is necessary to switch from a threaded fitting to a hose connection, maintaining a neat and easily inspectable setup of the system.

In technical contexts such as nautics and onboard maintenance, choosing reliable and well-made fittings is central to managing service lines. This component, thanks to its hose connector configuration and female threading, is suitable for multiple uses where flexible tubing and threaded fittings are present.

Features and construction details

The product is identified by the manufacturer as Maestrini, with code 1055B*8. The term “yellow brass” indicates the family of material and finish commonly used for fittings and system components.

Fitting configuration

• Type: hose holder with female thread
• Threaded connection size: 1/4″
• Hose connector size: 8
• Material: yellow brass
• Brand: Maestrini
• Product code: 1055B*8

Why a female hose connector

A female hose connector is recommended when the system includes:

• a male threaded connection already present on valves, taps, fittings, or line components;
• a section of flexible hose to be connected simply and compactly;
• the need for a component that allows disassembly and maintenance without intervening on rigid parts of the system.

Typical applications (nautical and plant engineering)

This fitting can be used in many situations of onboard systems and generally in hydraulics, whenever it is necessary to connect a hose to a female threaded fitting. The 1/4″ x 8 configuration makes it suitable for installations where such measurements are required by the project or existing components.

Examples of use

• Maintenance and restoration of lines with flexible tubing, where it is necessary to replace or integrate a hose connector fitting.
• Technical systems where threaded connections and hose sections are present, for more practical management of connections.
• Fittings and refitting where you want to rationalize connections between threaded components and flexible tubing.

For the correct choice of fitting, it is always advisable to verify the correspondence between thread size and hose diameter provided by the system.

Operational advantages

Despite the simplicity of the component, a well-selected hose connector contributes to the overall quality of the installation. This Maestrini model offers a clear and standardized configuration, useful for orderly interventions consistent with the existing system.

Strengths in installation

• Direct connection between female thread and flexible hose, without unnecessary adapters.
• Practical format for assembly, replacement, and maintenance interventions.
• Material in yellow brass, typical for hydraulic fittings and small parts.
• Certain identification by brand and code (Maestrini 1055B*8), useful for reordering and spare parts management.

Usage and assembly notes

To achieve a correct connection, it is important to follow good installation practices for threaded fittings and hose connectors. Below are some general guidelines, to be adapted to your own system and maintenance procedures.

General indications

• Measure check: check that the required threading is 1/4″ and that the hose is compatible with the hose connector 8.
• Tube preparation: clean and perpendicular cut to facilitate insertion onto the hose connector.
• Tightening: perform adequate tightening of the threaded fitting, avoiding over-tightening.
• Tube fastening: provide a suitable locking system for the flexible hose (according to system practices).
• Final check: after installation, visually inspect the connection and check for leaks under operating conditions.
