Barrel sockets are connectors used to secure hoses or pipes to the pump itself, providing a sealed and secure connection for leak-free transfer. Called barrel sockets because of their cylindrical shape, these components can be used on both inlet and outlet ports on the pump. Their smooth surface helps with straightforward installation and, when combined with a hose clamp or threaded connector, provides a reliable seal that prevents leaks.
Barrel sockets can be made from different materials, with the right choice depending on the intended application of the pump and the environment it operates in.
Brass, stainless steel and galvanised steel barrel sockets are ideally suited to high pressure applications and are durable, resistant to corrosion and able to deal with system vibration and other challenging conditions, such as with marine and industrial use. Threaded barrel sockets offer a highly secure fit, as the hose or pipe is literally screwed into the socket, but removing them is straightforward if needed for maintenance, repairs or inspection.
