Brass hose barb for low-pressure lines
The SPEEDAIRE 6AFK6 is a straight barbed fitting made from brass for low-pressure pneumatic and water systems. Its 5/16 inch barb connects to matching hose while the 1/8 inch male NPT end threads into ports. Brass construction resists wear during regular use.
Rigid straight fitting with 7/16 inch hex
The rigid body prevents movement after installation and the straight path eases routing. A 7/16 inch hex head provides a positive grip for tightening. The hose barb by NPT connection style secures the hose with a clamp while the tapered threads seal the port.
Replaces worn or leaking barbed fittings
This part replaces damaged brass barbs that leak air or water at the hose or thread seal. The jump is worth it when the old fitting shows corrosion, stripped threads or a split barb that cannot hold a clamp. California Proposition 65 warnings apply.

Questions about this item
What does the 1/8 inch MNPT thread on the SPEEDAIRE 6AFK6 connect to?
The 1/8 inch male NPT thread screws into a matching female NPT port on an air compressor, regulator or other pneumatic component to create a sealed connection.
What size hex head does the SPEEDAIRE 6AFK6 fitting have for installation?
The fitting requires a 7/16 inch hex head, so a 7/16 inch wrench or socket is needed to tighten it properly.
How is the SPEEDAIRE 6AFK6 hose barb installed onto a 5/16 inch hose?
Push the hose onto the 5/16 inch barb until fully seated, then secure it with a hose clamp; the step often missed is tightening the clamp enough to prevent leaks under pressure.
