Bauer type couplings are ball and socket type fittings used to connect lengths of hose together. The primary application for bauer fittings is irrigation, but these fittings can be used in other suction and water transfer applications. Bauer fittings include a female socket fitting, a male ball fitting, a lever ring and an o-ring gasket.
This is a 8″ lever ring that connects a 8″ Bauer male ball coupling to a 8″ Bauer female socket coupling.
At Gloxco, we offer bauer fittings to connect to hoses using a hose shank (hose tail). We also offer Bauer fittings with male NPT threads to connect to female threaded pipes.
Warning: These fittings are not recommended for chemicals or any hazardous type materials where the possibility of leakage would result in health or environmental concerns.
