A disposable sanitary gauge tee with no dead zone for use in pressure measurement of fluid in disposable tubing including a body having a main fluid passageway in fluid connection with a proximal end of a pressure fluid passageway, the main fluid passageway including a fluid port and a second fluid port, wherein a hose barb is operatively attached to the body at the fluid port and the second fluid port, wherein the disposable tubing can be removably attached to the hose barbs, and the pressure fluid passageway including a distal end for removable attachment of a sanitary pressure gauge and a biocompatible gauge protector for isolation of the fluid from the sanitary pressure gauge. No dead zone is achieved within the gauge tee as the proximal end of the pressure fluid passageway is substantially the same diameter as the distal end of the pressure fluid passageway, therein providing a total transfer of fluid within the pressure fluid passageway during fluid flow. A method of measuring pressure of fluid within disposable tubing using the disposable sanitary gauge tee and a method of measuring pressure of fluid in a closed system are further included.

A watering system that has first and second upright supports, a plurality of bendable water conduits and substantially rigid water channels and a first spray head is disclosed. Each of the first and second upright supports have substantially laterally oriented brackets dimensioned to releasably hold objects having a first outer diameter, including the bendable water conduits and substantially rigid water channels. The substantially rigid water channels each have a central body and left and right hose barbs in fluid relationship to one another through the central body. The central body has an aperture dimensioned to receive and mechanically engage the insertion end of the first spray head. The first spray head has a spray jet with a first water flow rate. The system may further include second and third spray heads with second and third water flow rates each different from each other and the first water flow rate. The bendable water conduits are preferrably formed from material capable of bending to an acute internal angle without breaking and without substantial kinking. Preferrably, the first upright supports are ornamentally camouflaged and may appear to be a picket fence with each first upright support being formed to allow interconnection of the upright supports one to another to allow flexibility.

Formed hose configurations are provided which include an innermost elastomer layer, a first fiber-reinforcement region, and multiple second fiber-reinforcement regions. The first fiber-reinforcement region has a first fiber-reinforcement density, and is disposed, at least in part, at a bend region of the formed hose, and the multiple second fiber-reinforcement regions have a second fiber-reinforcement density, and are disposed at least at the first and second end regions of the formed hose. The second fiber-reinforcement density is greater than the first fiber-reinforcement density, and results in the first and second ends of the formed hose being less radially-deformable than the bend region of the hose. This facilitates providing a mechanical fluid-tight connection with a hose barb fitting when the formed hose is slid over the hose barb fitting, absent any clamp over the formed hose and hose barb fitting connection.

A balloon filling device is provided. The balloon filling device includes a hose connector extending outwards from a body of the balloon filling device, a hose barb extending outwards from the body along a predominant axis, the hose barb being displaced on the body from the hose connector, a valve within the body having an opened state where the valve forms a conduit between the hose connector and the hose barb and a closed state where the conduit is blocked and a receptacle disposed in the body adjacent the hose barb that receives a balloon tying device.

An inexpensive, compact, conveniently installed drain tap for disposing of water from a condensate hose. The drain tap channels condensate water from a hose to a drain having at least one drain hole. The tap includes a base forming a hollow channel. The base has a spillway at one end of the channel, in fluid communication therewith. A peg extends downward from the base, including at least one hole barb adapted for retractable insertion into the drain hole. A hose connector is formed on the base, adapted for engagement with one end of the hose. The hose connector is in fluid communication with the base channel, so that when the peg is inserted into the drain hole and one end of the hose is engaged with the hose connector, water may flow through the hose, into the base channel and exit from the spillway onto the drain. In preferred embodiments, the hose connector includes at least one hose barb for gripping engagement of the hose. Additionally, in preferred embodiments the peg includes a U-shaped invagination in the center for compression of the end of the peg when extraction of the peg from the drain hole is desired.

A disposable sensor interface for connecting the disposable container to a reusable sensing instrument is provided. The disposable sensor interface includes a polymeric flange connectable to the wall of the disposable container. The polymeric flange has a sidewall and an interface portion configured to receive a deflectable polymeric membrane. The deflectable polymer membrane is attached to the interface portion of the polymer flange. The instrument connection part is sealingly connected to the polymer flange. The instrument connection portion is configured to connect to a reusable sensing instrument. Another disposable sensor interface for connecting a disposable container to a reusable sensing instrument includes a polymer hose adapter and at least one instrument attachment portion. The polymeric hose adapter portion has at least one hose barb configured to retain a hose that slides thereover. The hose adapter portion has at least one interface portion configured to receive the deflectable polymeric membrane. A deflectable polymer membrane is attached to the interface portion. At least one instrument attachment portion is connected to the hose adapter portion. At least one instrument attachment portion has a cylindrical sidewall.

The arc punching machine is suitable for punching equipment for arc connectors at the ends of hoses made of rubber, foam and the like.

The present invention provides a remotely mounted gearbox breather for an irrigation machine. According to a preferred embodiment, the system of the present invention may preferably include a gearbox having a gearbox fill port and a breather line which is attached at a first end to the gearbox at the gearbox fill port using a connection assembly and at a second end to the breather assembly. According to a further preferred embodiment, the connection assembly of the present invention may preferably include a first street elbow connected at a first side to the gearbox; a first pipe extension connected to the first elbow and a second elbow; and a hose barb connected to the first end of breather line.

A device for hose barb retention consists of a hose barb, a first plurality of serrations, a second plurality of serrations, an intermediate smooth lateral section, and a bumper. The first plurality of serrations helps create a tight seal between the hose barb and a hose section and thus, prevents leakages. The second plurality of serrations helps keep the hose section stationary along the hose barb and thus, prevents hose blowouts. The intermediate smooth lateral section, which is smooth, helps the user in inserting the hose barb into the hose section, and in removing the hose barb from the hose section. By mounting a hose band clamp against the bumper and adjacent the first end, the hose section is pressed against the hose barb. The bumper helps protect the hose barb and the hose band clamp.
