Barb fitting for 2-1/2 in hose
The ZORO SELECT 3LZ97 is a straight barbed hose fitting made from steel. It connects a hose with a 2-1/2 in inner diameter to a male NPT thread of the same size. The design suits low-pressure water suction and discharge service. It is intended for industrial fluid-handling setups that require a direct routing path.
Upgrade from worn or mismatched barbs
Replace this fitting when an existing barb shows corrosion, deformation or thread damage that causes leaks. The steel construction provides mechanical strength for repeated assembly and disassembly cycles. The jump is worth it when the current fitting material is incompatible with the fluid or pressure demands of the application.
Capacity and headroom for 2-1/2 in lines
The barb accommodates hoses with a 2-1/2 in inner diameter, delivering full-bore flow for water transfer duties. It runs out when system pressure exceeds the low-pressure rating implied by the suction and discharge service designation. Buyers needing higher pressure ratings, chemical compatibility beyond steel, or a different thread standard should select an alternative fitting.

Questions about this item
What hose inside diameter does the 2-1/2 in barb on this fitting accept?
The 2-1/2 in barb is designed for hose with a matching 2-1/2 in inside diameter to create a secure low-pressure connection.
Which thread sealant method works correctly with the 2-1/2 in MNPT end?
Apply PTFE tape or pipe dope on the male NPT threads only; the barb end seals by clamping the hose over the barbs.
Does the steel construction require any specific corrosion protection over time?
Inspect the steel surfaces periodically for rust and apply a compatible coating or replace the fitting if corrosion appears.
