Cerrobrass HM-6 Brass Hose Insert 3/8 Inch Barb Fitting

Product Description

The CERROBRASS HM-6 is a brass hose insert fitting designed to create secure, leak-resistant connections in fluid-handling systems. It features a hose barb on each end and accepts 3/8 inch inside diameter hose. The barbed profile grips the hose interior when clamped, resisting pull-out and maintaining a tight seal under pressure. At 2.06 inches in overall length and 0.031 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, irrigation, and general fluid transfer applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and facilities maintenance professionals routinely use fittings of this type in both new construction and service work.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where 3/8 inch ID flexible hose is used. Common install scenarios include condensate drain lines, water transfer tubing, low-pressure fluid systems, and equipment bypass connections. Its brass construction provides corrosion resistance in wet environments. The fitting is rated for use across a wide temperature range, from -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F, making it suitable for both chilled-water and moderate hot-water service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off fluid flow and relieve any system pressure before removing or installing hose fittings. Slide the hose fully over both barbs and secure each end with an appropriately sized hose clamp to prevent blowoff under pressure. Verify that the hose material and clamp type are compatible with the fluid being conveyed and the system operating temperature range.
