It joins a 1\/4 inch female NPT threaded port to a 3\/8 inch inside diameter hose barb, creating a secure transition between threaded pipe and flexible hose. The NPT thread provides a tapered, pressure-resistant seal, while the barb profile grips the hose interior to resist pull-out under normal service pressure. At 0.05 pounds, this is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for fluid transfer lines in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications. Lead-free brass construction meets current potable water safe standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial installations where a threaded female NPT connection must transition to a flexible hose assembly. Typical applications include water supply lines, condensate drain connections, and equipment inlet fittings. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this type of connector when routing flexible hose from a fixed threaded port on valves, manifolds, or equipment housings. The 3\/8 inch hose barb accommodates standard 3\/8 inch ID flexible hose commonly used in low-pressure fluid service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction suitable for potable water and general fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch female NPT threaded end for connection to standard tapered pipe threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch hose barb end sized for 3\/8 inch ID flexible hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHose barb x female NPT end configuration for threaded-to-hose transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact, lightweight form factor at 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for systems requiring a 1\/4 inch female NPT to 3\/8 inch ID hose barb transition in lead-free brass construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or fluid source and depressurize the line before connecting or disconnecting any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly; do not overtighten, as brass threads can strip or crack under excessive torque. Secure the hose to the barb with an appropriately rated hose clamp to prevent pull-off under service pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead Free Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hose Barb x Female NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Inside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANDERSON METALS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 757002-0604\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANDERSON METALS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51707959705906,"sku":"757002-0604","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0be0b399916f61993f118f427c99ce43_f1287359-d5e8-4447-8968-4cfb10dd7d15.jpg?v=1788443123","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anderson-metals-757002-0604-barbed-hose-fitting-1-4-npt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
