Brass Barbed Hose Fitting 3/8 in
The ZORO SELECT 6AFN3 is a straight brass barbed hose fitting built for low-pressure pneumatic and water lines. It connects a 3/8 in hose barb to a 1/4 in NPT thread with a rigid, non-swivel design. No shut-off valve is included. The hex head measures 5/8 in for standard wrench engagement.
Installers needing a simple brass barb-to-NPT joint
This fitting suits maintenance crews and shop technicians who need a straightforward brass connection for air or water hoses rated to 300 psi. It is not intended for high-vibration hydraulic circuits, fuel lines, or systems that require an integrated shut-off or swivel action. Buyers who need a different thread size, a female barb, or a push-to-connect style should look at other configurations.
Rated for 300 psi working pressure
The brass construction handles typical shop air and water supply pressures up to the stated 300 psi limit with comfortable headroom for normal pressure spikes. It will not withstand hydraulic system pressures or continuous cycling beyond the rated maximum. The 3/8 in barb accepts standard hose IDs, while the 1/4 in NPT thread mates with common pipe fittings; larger flow requirements will need a bigger bore fitting.

Questions about this item
What size hose must I already have for the 3/8 in barb to seal properly?
You need a hose with an internal diameter of 3/8 in so the barb can grip it securely.
Can I thread the 1/4 in NPT end into the existing port on my older compressor?
Yes, the NPT male threads are compatible with standard 1/4 in NPT female ports found on many compressors.
How do I confirm the fitting is holding pressure after I tighten it?
Pressurise the line up to 300 psi and check for leaks at the barb and thread joints.
