To read hose fittings, first identify the size, which is usually indicated by the inner diameter (ID) of the hose and the outer diameter (OD) of the fitting, often measured in inches or millimeters. Next, determine the thread type, such as National Pipe Thread (NPT) or British Standard Pipe (BSP), by examining the thread count and pitch. Lastly, consider the fitting style, like barbed, compression, or quick-connect, to ensure compatibility with your hose and application.
