Pack of eight nylon hose barbs
This pack contains eight nylon hose barbs sized 3/16 inch by 1/4 MIP for connecting flexible plastic or rubber tubing to threaded ports. The barb rings grip the tube interior so the connection holds without clamps in low-pressure air or fluid lines. Nylon construction resists corrosion and many common shop chemicals. The fittings are new and ready for immediate installation.
Suited for small-bore pneumatic plumbing
These barbs suit technicians and hobbyists who need to join 3/16 inch ID hose to 1/4 inch male pipe threads on compressors, regulators or vacuum pumps. The eight-piece quantity covers a typical manifold rebuild or a few branch lines. Installers who require metal threads, higher temperature ratings, larger diameters or a different thread standard will need other fittings.
3/16 inch hose ID by 1/4 inch MIP thread
The single specification that decides fit is the combination of 3/16 inch hose inside diameter and 1/4 inch male iron pipe thread. Match both dimensions to the tubing and the port you are connecting; if either differs the barb will not seal.

Questions about this item
What size hose and thread do these 3/16" barbs with 1/4 MIP fit?
The barbs accept 3/16 inch inside-diameter tubing and thread into a 1/4 inch male iron pipe fitting.
How do I install the barbs without stripping the plastic threads?
Hand-tighten the 1/4 MIP threads into the port, then give a light quarter-turn with a wrench; over-tightening cracks the nylon body.
When should I replace the barbs in an air-line setup?
Replace them if the barb rings show cracks, the tubing slips off under pressure, or the nylon body becomes brittle from heat and oil exposure.
