1/2" MPT x 3/8" Barb - Stainless by Midwest Homebrewing and Winemaking Supplies

Works as expected, good price

Having purchased piping components for both personal and business reasons, I had high expectations that I would receive a well-made item and I was not disappointed. It was marked '304' (for 304 stainless steel) as I expected it would be, the NPT threads were well cut with no burrs or broken ridges, and the barbed end was well made with sharp corners to retain (correctly-sized) tubing firmly. Only needed one of these for a mash pot but would definitely buy again based on quality and price.

It's a well made barb. I use this to transfer fermented beer into a keg. The 3/8" size is a bit narrow for, say, pulling fresh wort out of a brew kettle (you want fast flow for fresh wort, to minimize time and maximize potential aeration), but it's just right for transferring green beer where you want to keep the flow rate down.It's nice and solid, and the barb is well machined. I like this a lot.

perfect size for my brew kettle

works well, as expected

Nice fit!

It works great! Exactly as advertised and is high quality. I'll get many years of use out of it. I use it to connect tubing from my brew pot to my wort chiller.
