bronze hose barb

[p.david]

My hose barb for raw water ball valve is brass. It corroded and I am looking to replace this with a bronze 5/8 hose barb with a bronze 3/4 inch male fitting. I have been searching for this and can only find it in brass. Can anyone please help? I live in Rhode Island

Thanks for your help. However, the hose end of the fitting (tailpiece) needs to be 5/8. That's the problem. I currently have brass which is the correct size but will break down in time.

Sometimes more luck than one wants to admit... and maybe fast fingers... What was that old Yellow pages ad?
Let your fingers do the walking...

Better take a careful look. The description further down the page and the schematic show thevthread as female nps, not male npt.
