does this fitting work with a -4 hose, or is that the hose end size i need to match up on my end?
Question by: Lee G on Oct 8, 2025, 10:55 AM
The hose end on this fitting is sized for -4 dash hose, which works out to 1/4 inch hose. The male pipe thread on the other end is also 1/4 inch MPT. So if your hose is -4 and your port or valve takes a 1/4 male pipe thread, this is the right piece for that connection.

what's the corrosion resistance like on these fittings, are they gonna hold up outside or in wet conditions?
Question by: Ralph B on Dec 13, 2025, 1:32 PM
Dura-Kote plating is applied to these fittings specifically to fight off corrosion in tough environments. Carbon steel on its own can be vulnerable to rust and moisture, but that plating adds a meaningful layer of protection, which is why it gets used in industrial settings where exposure to the elements is part of the job.
