Eaton 05706B-106 Barbed Hose Fitting 3/8 in Nptf Brass

Product Description

The EATON 05706B-106 is a male rigid barbed hose fitting machined from brass, designed for secure threaded connections in fluid transfer applications. It features a 3/8-inch NPTF male thread and accepts hose with a 3/8-inch inside diameter. The barbed end locks hose in place to resist pull-off under pressure. At 1.47 inches overall length with a 0.69-inch hex head, this fitting is a compact, durable component suited for plumbing, hydraulic, and industrial fluid system assemblies. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid system technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial fluid transfer systems where a threaded-to-hose transition is required. It is appropriate for applications that call for NPTF-standard tapered pipe threads, which create a pressure-tight seal through thread interference without relying solely on a sealant. The 0.375-inch barb size matches 3/8-inch ID hose, making it compatible with a wide range of rubber, PVC, and braided hose assemblies used in plumbing and industrial service environments.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and reliable performance in fluid service
• 3/8-inch NPTF male thread provides a pressure-tight tapered pipe thread connection
• Accepts 3/8-inch inside diameter hose with a 0.375-inch barb for a secure grip
• 0.69-inch hex head allows for standard wrench installation and removal
• Compact 1.47-inch overall length suits tight installation spaces
• Male rigid end connection eliminates swivel movement for fixed-line installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPTF threaded barbed hose fitting for use with 3/8-inch inside diameter hose in plumbing, hydraulic, and industrial fluid transfer assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters using an appropriately sized open-end or adjustable wrench on the hex head. NPTF threads are designed to seal through thread interference, but applying PTFE tape or thread sealant to the male threads is common practice to ensure a leak-free joint. Shut off and depressurize the fluid system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
