Eaton 10006B-104 Barbed Hose Male Connector 3/8in Brass

Product Description

The EATON 10006B-104 is a barbed push-on hose male connector designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies where a secure, leak-resistant connection between a hose and a threaded port is required. Constructed entirely from brass, this fitting features a 3/8 inch barb on one end and a 1/4-18 NPT male thread on the other. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 9500 psi, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic and high-pressure plumbing applications. The overall length is 1.65 inches, and the 9/16 inch hex allows for standard wrench installation. Plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This connector is used in residential and commercial plumbing, hydraulic systems, and fluid transfer lines where a barbed hose must terminate at a threaded male NPT port. The 1/4-18 NPT thread conforms to standard tapered pipe thread specifications, ensuring compatibility with NPT-threaded ports and fittings found across a wide range of equipment. The 3/8 inch barb accepts correspondingly sized push-on or clamp-secured hose. The 7/8 inch cut-off allowance provides the installer with a clean reference point for trimming hose to the correct seating depth.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for systems using 3/8 inch barbed hose connections with 1/4-18 NPT male threaded ports in hydraulic, plumbing, and fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or hydraulic technician familiar with NPT threaded fittings and hose assembly procedures. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads in accordance with local plumbing codes before making up the joint. Do not overtighten the fitting; use the 9/16 inch hex and a calibrated wrench to snug the connection without stressing the brass body.
