Eaton 10008B-106 Barbed Hose Male Connector 1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The EATON 10008B-106 is a barbed push-on hose male connector designed to create a secure, leak-resistant transition between a threaded port and a push-on hose assembly. Machined from brass, this fitting features a 3/8-18 NPT male thread on one end and a 1/2 inch barb on the other, allowing it to connect directly to compatible hose without clamps in push-on applications. Rated to 8000 psi maximum working pressure, this connector is built for demanding fluid transfer systems. At 1.85 inches in length with an 11/16 inch hex for wrench engagement, it is compact and easy to torque into place during installation.

This fitting is used in hydraulic and industrial fluid systems where a threaded port must interface with a barbed push-on hose. Common installation scenarios include mobile equipment hydraulics, industrial machinery, and fluid power assemblies where space is limited and a reliable threaded-to-hose transition is required. It is typically installed by hydraulic system technicians, maintenance mechanics, and plumbing trade professionals working on high-pressure fluid lines.

Key Features

• 3/8-18 NPT male thread for direct port connection
• 1/2 inch barb sized for push-on hose assemblies
• Maximum working pressure of 8000 psi
• Brass construction resists corrosion in fluid service environments
• 11/16 inch hex allows standard wrench installation
• 15/16 inch cut-off allowance accommodates hose end preparation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for hydraulic and fluid power hose assemblies using 3/8-18 NPT threaded ports and 1/2 inch inside diameter push-on hose.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified hydraulic or mechanical technicians. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant compatible with the system fluid to the NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten brass fittings; use the hex and a properly sized wrench to achieve a snug, leak-free connection without stressing the fitting body.
