Brass Barbed Hose Fitting

The ZORO SELECT 6AFP1 is a straight brass barbed hose fitting built for low-pressure pneumatic and water systems. Its C37700 brass construction provides durability and strength for reliable fluid connections. The fitting features a 3/8 inch hose barb on one end and a 1/4 inch female NPT thread on the other. This component suits technicians assembling custom hose assemblies in automotive or shop environments.

Swivel Function and Connection Needs

The fitting allows swivel movement to ease alignment during installation and reduce hose stress in service. It requires a 3/8 inch inner-diameter hose and a mating 1/4 inch male NPT threaded port to complete the connection. No shut-off valve is integrated, so flow control must be handled elsewhere in the circuit. The design is not reusable, so plan final routing before assembly.

Capacity Limits and Compliance

The brass body handles typical low-pressure air and water lines found in workshop supply systems. It does not support high-pressure hydraulic service or aggressive chemical transfer beyond standard brass compatibility. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm, so handle with appropriate precautions. Buyers needing integrated shut-off, reusable connections, or different thread sizes must select alternative fittings.

Questions about this item

What pressure or temperature limit will this brass fitting reach first under continuous pneumatic use?

The C37700 brass construction handles typical low-pressure pneumatic and water systems; sustained pressure or temperature limits depend on the hose and system design rather than the fitting alone.

Does the fitting generate noticeable heat or noise when air flows through it all day?

No — it is a passive brass barb with no moving parts, so it produces no noise and negligible heat during continuous airflow.

Which hose and thread components must I already have to install this 3/8 inch barb to 1/4 inch FNPT fitting?

You need a 3/8 inch ID hose for the barb end and a 1/4 inch male NPT threaded port for the female NPT side.
