It features a 3\/8-inch hose barb on one end and a 3\/8-inch female NPSM swivel thread on the other, allowing the fitting to rotate during installation to prevent hose kinking and reduce assembly stress. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, air, and many common fluid transfer applications. Weighing just 0.1 pounds, this compact fitting is a standard one-piece component used by plumbers, irrigation technicians, and maintenance professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a flexible hose must connect to a threaded female port. The hose barb gasket seat and NPSM swivel end connection make it particularly useful in situations requiring a hand-tightened or wrench-tightened swivel joint at the female end. Typical installations include water supply lines, pneumatic hose assemblies, and fluid distribution systems where the 3\/8-inch inside diameter hose is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in water and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch hose barb accepts 3\/8-inch inside diameter hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale NPSM swivel end allows rotation during assembly to prevent hose twist\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHose barb gasket seat design for improved sealing at the swivel connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.75-inch hex head size for standard wrench fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded connection type compatible with NPSM standard female ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit barbed hose fitting for systems using 3\/8-inch inside diameter hose with a 3\/8-inch female NPSM threaded port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by plumbers or maintenance technicians. Depressurize and drain the system before removing or installing any hose fitting. Insert the barb fully into the hose end and secure with an appropriate clamp rated for the operating pressure of the system. The NPSM swivel thread does not require pipe tape or sealant on the swivel seat but verify the gasket is seated properly before tightening to avoid leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPSM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hose Barb Gasket Seat x Female NPSM Swivel\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\u003eBarb Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Head Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\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: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40141734\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: DIXON VALVE COUPLING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1260606C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DIXON VALVE \u0026 COUPLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721002582322,"sku":"1260606C","price":17.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1c4957ef33944eae4e9a604907b850d8.jpg?v=1788572137","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dixon-valve-coupling-1260606c-barbed-hose-fitting-3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
