A 6″ Doda Male x Hose Shank – Galvanized – 150mm is a pipe fitting used in irrigation and fluid transfer systems to connect a hose to a pipeline or other equipment. It features a male Doda-style fitting on one end and a hose shank (barbed end) on the other, providing a secure and durable connection for large-diameter hoses.
Key Features:
- Male Doda Fitting:
- The male Doda-style end is designed to connect with a compatible female Doda coupling, creating a secure and leak-resistant connection.
- Hose Shank:
- The barbed hose shank allows for a strong grip on the interior of the hose. It is secured with clamps to prevent slippage or leaks.
- Material:
- Made from galvanized steel for corrosion resistance, durability, and longevity in demanding agricultural or industrial environments.
- Size:
- Designed for 6-inch (150mm) diameter hoses, suitable for high-volume fluid transfer.
Applications:
- Irrigation Systems:
- Used to connect main pipelines to flexible hoses for water distribution across agricultural fields.
- Manure Management:
- Common in systems handling slurry or liquid manure, where secure, high-capacity hose connections are essential.
- Industrial Fluid Transfer:
- Suitable for transferring water or other non-potable liquids in construction or industrial projects.
- Dewatering:
- Ideal for connecting hoses in dewatering applications, such as draining flooded areas or construction sites.
Benefits:
- Durable Construction:
- Galvanized steel resists rust and wear, ensuring reliable performance in harsh conditions.
- Secure Connection:
- The Doda male fitting and hose shank combination create a robust and leak-proof joint when properly installed.
- Versatile Use:
- Compatible with a wide range of hoses and systems for agricultural, industrial, and dewatering applications.
- High-Flow Capacity:
- The large diameter allows for efficient fluid transfer, making it suitable for high-volume operations.
Considerations:
- Hose Compatibility:
- Ensure the hose diameter matches the shank size and secure it with appropriate clamps for a reliable seal.
- System Pressure:
- Verify that the fitting can handle the operating pressure of the system to prevent failures.
- Maintenance:
- Periodically inspect the connection and clamps for wear or loosening to maintain performance.
