Hose holder in M hexagonal bar 1/8"x8 – code: 1057A*8 – Maestrini

Hose holder in M hexagonal bar Maestrini 1/8"x8 (code 1057A*8)

The hose holder in hexagonal bar M Maestrini 1/8"x8 (code 1057A*8) is a fitting designed to practically connect a flexible hose to a threaded connection point, in contexts of plant engineering and maintenance. The construction in yellow brass and the geometry hexagonal of the bar make it suitable for installations where it is useful to be able to tighten the component with common tools, maintaining a neat bulk and a stable grip during assembly.

This version is identified by the size 1/8"x8 and by the manufacturer's reference Maestrini, a brand used in technical fields also for nautical applications and onboard systems, where the choice of fittings is often guided by reliability, spare parts availability, and consistency with existing components.

Features and construction details

Hexagonal bar shape

The body of the fitting is made of hexagonal bar: a solution that facilitates screwing and tightening operations because it offers flat surfaces to work with wrenches or pliers. In installations in technical spaces, this shape also helps better manage the orientation of the fitting during assembly.

Hose connection

The part hose holder is designed for the insertion of a flexible tube. In typical applications, the tube is inserted onto the hose barb and secured with an appropriate clamping system (for example, a clamp), depending on the type of tube and the system requirements. The choice of fastening method and the correct laying of the tube are important aspects to achieve a neat and stable connection.

M threading and product identification

The product is indicated as M and shows the size 1/8"x8. For correct selection in the warehouse and during reordering, it is useful to refer to the Maestrini code 1057A*8 and the SKU MAES00000216 of the e-commerce catalog.

Material: yellow brass

The fitting is made of yellow brass. This material is commonly used in fittings for technical systems due to its machinability characteristics and its widespread use in many component and accessory configurations. Overall compatibility always depends on the fluid, the installation environment, and other materials present in the system: in case of doubt, it is advisable to verify material consistency at the system level.

Typical applications

The hexagonal bar hose barb is normally used in systems where it is necessary to transition from a threaded connection to a flexible piping. In the field of nautical and plant engineering, it can be useful in assembly, repair, or replacement of pipe sections, especially when a simple and easily inspectable configuration is desired.

Plant engineering and maintenance

In the workshop or onboard, this type of fitting is often chosen for routine and extraordinary maintenance interventions, where the availability of a hexagonal geometry helps to work precisely even in technical spaces. It is suitable when you want to create a clean connection between a flexible line and a threaded point already present on valves, fittings, or system components (depending on thread compatibility and tube dimensions).

Setups and retrofit

In retrofits or system modifications, hose barbs can be used to adapt an existing line, replace a worn fitting, or restore a connection with equivalent components. The reference Maestrini 1057A*8 allows maintaining consistency with spare parts and configurations already adopted.

Operational advantages

Easy grip and tightening

The hexagonal bar offers a practical advantage during installation: it allows applying the tightening torque in a more controlled way compared to smooth bodies, reducing the risk of tool slippage and helping to maintain the fitting alignment.

Compact and tidy solution

A hose barb with a hexagonal body integrates well into systems where it is important to maintain order and accessibility. The regular shape also facilitates any visual inspections and subsequent interventions, such as tube replacement or line repositioning.

Clear reference for spare parts and warehouse management

The presence of a manufacturer code unique (1057A*8) and the SKU of the store simplifies spare parts management, assistance requests, and component standardization in repeated systems or across multiple units.

Usage and installation notes

Dimensional check before assembly

Before installation, it is advisable to check:

• the thread compatibility with the component to which the fitting will be screwed;
• the tube compatibility with the hose barb part, based on the internal diameter and type of material;
• the space available for tool use on the hexagonal body.

Tube fastening

After inserting the tube onto the hose holder, use a clamping system suitable for the type of tube and application. Proper fastening helps keep the connection stable and reduces the need for subsequent interventions. For systems subject to vibrations or frequent maintenance, it is useful to schedule periodic checks of the tightening and the tube's condition.

General good practices

For a clean and reliable result, work on clean surfaces, avoid damaging the tube during insertion, and ensure the fitting is positioned without abnormal tension on the flexible line. If the system requires seals or specific accessories, follow the procedures provided by the system or component manufacturer where the fitting is installed.
