Pack of eight nylon hose barbs
This eight-piece pack supplies 3/8 inch barbed fittings with 1/4 inch male pipe threads for connecting flexible plastic or rubber tubing to an air compressor or vacuum pump. The nylon construction resists corrosion and the barbed profile grips the hose securely once pushed on. Each fitting is new and ready for workshop or automotive use.
Suits DIY air-line repairs
The fittings work well for hobbyists and technicians who need a small quantity of push-on connectors for low-pressure air or vacuum lines. They are not intended for high-pressure hydraulic systems, fuel lines or applications that require metal threads or specialised sealants. Buyers who need larger diameters, different thread types or bulk quantities should look elsewhere.
3/8 inch barb with 1/4 inch male pipe thread
This single combination of hose size and thread pattern determines whether the fitting matches the equipment being serviced. Verify the inner diameter of the tubing and the female port on the compressor or pump before ordering.

Questions about this item
What does the 3/8" x 1/4MIP size mean for connecting my air line?
The 3/8-inch barb fits 3/8-inch inner-diameter hose while the 1/4-inch male pipe thread screws into a matching female port on a compressor, regulator or tool.
Which thread standard does the 1/4MIP connection follow?
It uses standard NPT taper pipe threads, so it seals with thread tape or compound when mated to any 1/4-inch NPT female fitting.
What hose and tool clearance do these nylon barbs need to install?
Push the 3/8-inch hose over the barb until it seats against the body, then thread the 1/4-inch male end into the port; no special tools or clamps are required for the barb connection.
