This PT Coupling PTHM series hose mender fitting is made of polypropylene plastic (PP) and connects hose of the same diameter in a straight run. This adapter has a barbed fitting on each end that creates a tight seal on flexible or semi-rigid hose when used with a hose clamp, crimp sleeve, or ferrule (sold separately). PP resists most chemicals, and is resistant to abrasion and corrosion.

Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

PT Coupling manufactures pneumatic and hydraulic hose fittings for industrial and automotive applications. The company, founded in 1951 and headquartered in Enid, OK, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
