Tail Female Straight

TruDesign Tail Female Straight connectors are moulded from a glass-reinforced nylon composite. High strength, high-modulus glass fibres within the nylon composite provides dramatic strength, stiffness, toughness, and dimensional stability.
TruDesign fittings eliminate the corrosion and electrical bonding problems associated with metallic fittings. Tail (Hose barb) fittings are designed for twin hose clamps and to never crush.
