Brass Hose Barb for Low Pressure Systems
The Value Brand 6AFN4 is a straight brass hose barb built for low pressure pneumatic and water lines. It connects a 3/8 in barb to a 1/2 in male NPT thread using grade C37700 brass for corrosion resistance. The rigid body and 7/8 in hex head allow secure installation with a standard wrench. This new fitting suits maintenance, repair and OEM assembly tasks.
Threaded Connection and Flow Path
The 1/2 in MNPT end threads into a matching female port on a compressor, valve or manifold while the 3/8 in barb accepts a push on hose secured with a clamp. No soldering, flaring or specialised tooling is required beyond a wrench for the hex. The straight through bore keeps the flow path open and simplifies routing in tight machine compartments or mobile equipment.
Material Durability and Compliance
Grade C37700 brass withstands typical shop air and water temperatures without deformation and resists galvanic corrosion when paired with steel or aluminium ports. The fitting contains a substance listed under California Proposition 65 as known to cause cancer and reproductive harm, so handlers should follow standard hygiene practices. Power draw, noise and active cooling are not applicable to this passive component.
