Hose holder in M hexagonal bar 3/8"x16 – code: 1057C*16 – Maestrini

Hose holder in M hexagonal bar Maestrini 3/8" x 16 (code 1057C*16)

The hose holder in hexagonal bar M Maestrini, identified by code 1057C*16, it is a fitting designed to practically connect a line with M thread of 3/8" to a flexible hose with connection hose holder 16. The construction in yellow brass makes it a typical choice for use in plant engineering, maintenance, and technical setups where reliable and easily integrable components are sought.

The hexagonal bar facilitates grip with common tools during assembly, helping to manage tightening and positioning neatly even in technical spaces. The product is suitable for contexts such as nautics and onboard plant engineering, where clarity of connections and availability of coded spare parts are important aspects.

Features and construction details

Type of fitting

• Hose fitting for connecting flexible hoses.
• Hexagonal bar body, useful for tightening with wrenches.
• M thread plant connection side.

Sizes and identification

• Thread: 3/8" (M).
• Hose holder: 16.
• Product code: 1057C*16.
• SKU: MAES00000179.

Material

The fitting is made of yellow brass. This material is commonly used in fittings for technical and maintenance applications, thanks to its workability and widespread use in systems.

Typical applications (nautical and plant engineering)

The hexagonal bar hose holder M is normally used to create or restore connections between threaded components and flexible pipes.

• Routine maintenance of lines with flexible pipes and threaded fittings.
• Fittings and refitting where it is necessary to adapt a threaded connection to a pipe.
• Repairs and targeted replacements, maintaining the component coding.
• Technical systems where the hexagonal grip facilitates assembly and disassembly.

For a correct choice, it is important to verify that the pipe size is consistent with the hose holder 16 and that the threaded part required by the system corresponds to the 3/8″ M.

Operational advantages

Hexagonal shape: more practical assembly

The geometry in hexagonal bar is designed to offer a stable grip point. During installation, this helps to work with standard tools, reducing the risk of slipping and making it easier to position the fitting.

Clear coding for spare parts and maintenance

The combination of code 1057C*16 and indication of the sizes (3/8" x 16) allows quick identification of the component, useful when managing spare parts on board or in the workshop and when you want to maintain consistency among installed fittings.

Yellow brass: a common choice in fittings

The’yellow brass is a widely used material for fittings and connection components. It is a common solution in many plant applications, including nautical ones, where robust and easily available components are appreciated.

Usage and installation notes

To achieve a neat and functional connection, it is recommended to pay attention to these practical aspects:

• Measure check: check that the required threading is 3/8″ M and that the tube is compatible with hose holder 16.
• Tube insertion: make sure the tube is correctly inserted onto the hose barb, with a stable fit.
• Tightening: use the part hexagonal for tightening, avoiding forcing on areas not intended for grip.
• Final check: after assembly, check the alignment of the connection and the absence of visual anomalies.

Note: the choice of any tube fastening systems (e.g., clamps) and sealing materials for the threaded part depends on the system and the procedures adopted. In case of doubt, it is advisable to refer to the manufacturer's instructions or the maintenance practices in use.

When to choose this model

This fitting is indicated when a hose holder 16 with male thread 3/8" (M) is needed and a body with hexagonal grip for easier assembly is desired. It is also a consistent choice when you want to maintain correspondence with the Maestrini code 1057C*16 already present on bills of materials or spare parts.

Summary
