Product Identity
Value Brand 3LZ95 is a steel nipple with a 1-1/2 inch hose barb on one end and a 1-1/2 inch male NPT thread on the other. It connects flexible hose directly to rigid piping in compressed-air or vacuum systems. The fitting is reusable and manufactured to BS1387 standard.
Suitable Installations
Installers joining 1-1/2 inch ID hose to a female NPT port will find this straight, knurled barb a direct fit. The steel construction handles typical shop air pressures. It is not for applications requiring a vacuum-rated seal, a swivel joint, or a different thread standard such as BSPT.
Deciding Specification
The critical detail is the combined 1-1/2 inch barb and 1-1/2 inch male NPT in a single straight steel body. Match both the hose bore and the port thread exactly; no adapter is included. The Proposition 65 notice confirms regulated chemicals are present.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 1-1/2 in barbed end onto a hose without leaking?
Push the hose fully over all barbs until it seats against the fitting body, then secure with a properly sized clamp tightened evenly; the common mistake is stopping short of the last barb or using a clamp that is too loose.
What maintenance or replacement will this steel nipple need over time?
Inspect the barbs and NPT threads for corrosion or deformation each time the hose is removed; replace the nipple if the hex flats round off, the barbs show pitting, or the threads no longer seal with fresh tape.
What limit appears first when this fitting sees sustained vibration and pressure cycles?
The clamp-to-barb joint typically loosens before the steel body yields, so re-torque the clamp at regular intervals and watch for hose fatigue at the barb ridge.
