Brass hose barb for 1/4 in connections

This straight brass fitting joins a 1/4 in hose barb to a 1/4 in female NPT thread. It suits compressed-air or vacuum lines where a rigid, reusable joint is not required. The C37700 brass body resists corrosion in typical workshop environments.

Hex head allows standard wrench tightening

The 5/8 in hex provides a positive grip for assembly without rounding. Male barb pushes into hose and is secured with a clamp while the female NPT end threads onto a port or coupler. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Replaces worn or mismatched barb fittings

Use it when a leak develops at an existing hose-to-thread joint or when converting a port to accept 1/4 in hose. The jump is worth it if the current fitting is damaged, corroded or the wrong thread type for the hose in use.

Questions about this item

What thread standard does the 1/4 in NPT connection follow?

The female port uses 1/4 in NPT threading, a tapered pipe standard that seals when tightened with thread sealant or tape.

What clearance does the 5/8 in hex head need for a wrench?

A 5/8 in open-end or adjustable wrench fits the hex head; allow enough swing radius around the fitting to turn it fully.

How do you seal the NPT threads, and what step is often missed?

Wrap PTFE tape or apply pipe thread sealant on the male NPT threads before tightening; the common mistake is skipping the sealant and relying on the barb alone.
