1/8"x8 Female Hose Fitting in Yellow Brass – DVGW – code: 1055A*8 – Maestrini

Female hose connector 1/8"x8 in yellow brass Maestrini (code 1055A*8)

The Maestrini female hose fitting it is a fitting designed to connect a flexible pipe to a female threaded connection, in a practical format for systems and maintenance interventions. This version is made of yellow brass and identifies the product with Maestrini code 1055A*8.

The sheet is dedicated to the model 1/8" x 8, a typical configuration when it is necessary to go from a small threaded fitting to a hose connector for flexible tubing. It is a solution used in technical fields, also in nautical and onboard plant contexts, where order, compactness, and ease of component replacement are important aspects.

Features and details of the fitting

Type

• Female hose connector fitting: allows the insertion of a flexible tube on the hose connector side and connection to a male thread on the female side.
• Configuration: 1/8" x 8 (female thread 1/8" and hose connector for 8 tube).

Material

• Yellow brass: material commonly used in fittings for systems, appreciated for machinability and use in technical components.

Product identification

• Brand: Maestrini
• Supplier code: 1055A*8
• SKUMAES00000079

Typical applications

A female hose connector like this is chosen when it is necessary to make a simple and tidy connection between a flexible line and a threaded connection point. In particular, it can be useful in:

• Onboard systems and nautical maintenance, where rigid and flexible sections often coexist.
• Technical lines where flexible tubes and threaded fittings are used to facilitate assembly and replacement.
• Restoration interventions or replacement of existing fittings, when it is necessary to maintain the same connection configuration.

Choosing the size 1/8" x 8 it is indicated when the system requires a female thread 1/8" and a flexible tube compatible with hose connector 8.

Advantages during installation and maintenance

• Compact solution: useful when available space is limited and an essential fitting is desired.
• Direct tube-thread connection: allows connecting a flexible pipe to a threaded point without unnecessary steps.
• Identifiable spare part: the code 1055A*8 helps reorder the same component and manage maintenance with greater continuity.
• Technical material: the’yellow brass it is a common choice in fittings for systems and general applications.

Usage and operational notes

General installation instructions

For a correct installation, it is good practice to check the compatibility between:

• the male threading of the component to which the fitting is connected (female side 1/8");
• the flexible hose to be inserted on the hose holder (side 8);
• the tube clamping system (for example, using a suitable clamp, based on the system configuration).

Checks before commissioning

• Check that the tube is properly inserted on the hose holder and that the clamping is adequate for the application.
• Check that the threaded coupling is done cleanly and without forcing.
• After installation, perform a visual inspection of the assembly and any leaks, according to the procedures established by your system.

Note on selection and replacement

If you are replacing an existing fitting, always compare type (female hose holder), size (1/8" x 8) and product code (1055A*8) to maintain the same configuration. If in doubt about compatibility with your system, it is advisable to directly verify the measurements and specifications required at the installation point.
