Hose Barb Fittings in Polypropylene

Polypropylene hose barb fittings are generally acceptable for working pressures up to 150 PSI at normal room temperatures.  At higher temperatures, the recommended working pressure decreases.  For example, at 140°F the maximum recommended working pressure is 90 PSI.
