It features a 3\/8 inch hose ID barb end and a 1\/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT) end. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet service environments. This fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications. Plumbers and HVAC technicians use barb inserts like this to create reliable, low-profile hose connections in tight spaces where push-fit or compression fittings are not practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic lines, irrigation sub-assemblies, and similar fluid-handling applications where flexible hose must transition to a threaded pipe connection. The 3\/8 inch barb end seats inside the hose ID, and the 1\/4 inch MPT end threads into a female-threaded port or fitting. Packaged in quantities of 10, it is well suited for service contractors stocking common repair and installation fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch hose ID barb end for secure grip on flexible hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT) outlet for standard threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead free compliant per Public Law 111-380, approved for potable water use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged in quantities of 10 for contractor convenience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard barb insert fitting for use with 3\/8 inch ID flexible hose and 1\/4 inch female NPT threaded ports in plumbing and HVAC fluid-handling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians.
