Value Brand ZORO SELECT 6AFL1 Hose Barb 1/2 In Brass

Brass hose barb for 1/2-inch air lines

The ZORO SELECT 6AFL1 is a brass beaded hose fitting designed to join 1/2-inch push-on hose to a 1/2-inch male NPT thread. Its 90-degree elbow redirects flow in tight routing situations. The rigid brass construction resists deformation under pressure and vibration common in shop air systems. Installers secure the barb end with a standard hose clamp for a leak-free seal.

Fits 1/2-inch NPT ports and push-on hose

The male NPT end threads directly into compressor outlets, regulator ports or tool inlets without adapters. The beaded barb accepts 1/2-inch ID push-on hose, eliminating the need for crimped ferrules or specialised tooling. The elbow geometry clears obstructions that would block a straight fitting, freeing bench space and reducing hose kink points. No additional sealant technology beyond standard thread tape is referenced in the data.

Brass body handles sustained shop pressure

Brass resists corrosion from moisture in compressed air lines and maintains thread integrity over repeated connect-disconnect cycles. The 90-degree bend does not introduce a flow restriction beyond the stated geometry. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm, so installers should follow local handling guidelines during prolonged exposure. No burst-pressure or cycle-life figures are supplied.
