Flanged hose connector

thingiverse

This openscad file can be used to create flanged hose connectors with or without barbs. For a straignt flange connector it will automatcally create the flange size depending on the size of the mounting holes used to bolt the flange to whatever it is to be mounted to. The flange can created with an inset for an o'ring which can be used to help seal the connection. The hose end of the connector can be tappered to help get the hose on the connector. To allow two different size hozes to be bolted together the code also support the concept of a reducing connector which allows a fixed size flange together with a narrower hose. This would allow two different size hoses to be bolted together with a common flange size. The number and size of the bolt holes an also be customised. The o-ring I used in the 38mm hose connector was labled as R27 (37.45mm id x 3.55mm thick) but this can be omitted or customsed as required. The V1.0 version as supplied creates a straight 38mm (1.5") barbed hose connector with 6 M6 mounting holes.
