Part Number: 4504

Beaded Hose Barb Tee

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 4504 is a versatile tee fitting designed to create a 90-degree branch in low-pressure hose systems. This fitting features beaded hose barbs on all three ends, providing a secure grip for hoses secured with external clamps. The raised bead on each barb offers a positive stop and an excellent shoulder for a clamp to tighten against, preventing hose slippage under pressure. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the 4504 tee is a durable and cost-effective choice for splitting or combining flow in a wide range of low-pressure fluid transfer applications.

Key Features & Specifications

Material	High-Grade Carbon Steel
End 1 Configuration (Run)	Beaded Hose Barb
End 2 Configuration (Run)	Beaded Hose Barb
End 3 Configuration (Branch)	Beaded Hose Barb
Body Style	Tee Fitting

Crucial Application Note: This fitting is intended for **low-pressure applications only**. The connection's pressure rating is limited by the hose and clamp type and is not suitable for medium or high-pressure hydraulic systems. Always confirm the pressure rating of all components in your assembly.
