Straight Brass Hose Barb for Low-Pressure Systems
This Zoro Select 6AFH3 fitting connects a 1/4 inch hose ID to a 1/8 inch male NPT thread. It is designed for low-pressure pneumatic and water applications. The straight brass body provides a rigid connection that prevents movement after installation. A crimped ferrule or hose clamp is required to secure the hose.
Pressure Rating and Installation Requirements
The brass fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 300 psi. It features a 7/16 inch hex head for tightening with a standard wrench. The non-reusable design lacks an integrated shut-off valve. California Proposition 65 warnings apply regarding chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Single Barb Size Determines Hose Compatibility
The 1/4 inch barb size is the critical specification that decides if this part fits your hose. It only accepts hose with a matching 1/4 inch inner diameter. Buyers needing a different barb diameter or a reusable push-to-connect style must select an alternative fitting.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 1/4 in hose barb onto the hose, and what step is often missed?
Push the hose onto the 1/4 in barb, then secure it with a crimped ferrule or hose clamp; skipping the clamp lets the hose blow off under pressure.
What maintenance or replacement will the 6AFH3 brass fitting need later?
The fitting is non-reusable; if the system is disassembled or the barb shows corrosion or deformation, replace the entire fitting.
What limit appears first when the fitting runs continuously at its 300 psi rating?
The 300 psi maximum operating pressure is the primary limit; exceeding it risks leakage or fitting failure in low-pressure pneumatic or water systems.
