Brass Hose Barb Male-Male 1/4 in
This solid-brass fitting joins a 1/4 in hose barb to a 1/4 in male NPT thread in a straight configuration. The C37700 brass body resists corrosion in compressed-air and vacuum lines. Both ends are male, so the barb pushes into hose while the threaded end screws into a female port. The fitting is not reusable once crimped or clamped.
Installers needing a straight 1/4 in barb-to-NPT
The barbed end accepts 1/4 in ID hose secured with a clamp or crimp ferrule. The NPT threads seal with tape or pipe dope. Buyers who need a swivel nut, a female thread, a different barb size, or a reusable push-to-connect style should select another fitting type. This item carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive-harm chemicals.
Hand-tighten the NPT end then snug with a wrench
Slip the hose over the barb and fasten the clamp before pressurising the system. Over-tightening the brass threads can strip the female port or crack the hex. Under-tightening leaves a leak path that appears only under load. The fitting has no vacuum rating, so do not assume it holds deep vacuum without testing. Orders of $75 or more ship free from the supplier.

Questions about this item
What size hose and thread does the 1/4 in brass barb need to connect to?
The fitting has a 1/4 in hose barb on one end and a 1/4 in male NPT thread on the other, so it joins 1/4 in I.D. hose to a 1/4 in NPT female port.
Will this straight brass barb thread into the same 1/4 NPT ports as my older steel fittings?
Yes, the male NPT threads are standard 1/4 in size and will mate with existing 1/4 in NPT female ports regardless of the older fitting material.
How can I confirm the C37700 brass barb is seated and leak-free after installation?
Pressurise the line and apply leak-detect fluid to the hose-barb and NPT joints; no bubbles mean the barbed grip and tapered threads are sealing correctly.
