It features a 1\/4-inch inner diameter, a 5\/8-inch outer diameter, and a 3\/8-inch male NPTF thread end. The NPTF thread profile creates a pressure-tight mechanical seal without requiring sealant tape, though tape or compound is commonly applied as additional insurance. Rated to 150 psi and tested across a temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F, this fitting suits demanding service conditions. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-systems mechanics typically install this type of hardware in both residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for use in water, air, and compatible hydraulic or pneumatic hose assemblies where a reliable barb-to-thread transition is needed. The reusable design allows the fitting to be removed from the hose and reinstalled without replacing the hardware, which is useful during system servicing or hose repair. It is commonly found in plumbing supply lines, HVAC refrigerant-adjacent fluid circuits, and compressed-air distribution systems that use flexible hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable construction allows removal and reinstallation without damaging the fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch male NPTF thread provides a dry-seal pressure-tight connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch inner diameter x 5\/8-inch outer diameter barb sizing for secure hose retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass material offers corrosion resistance in water, air, and light fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 psi maximum operating pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F for varied service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for brass hose barb applications requiring a 1\/4-inch ID barb with a 3\/8-inch male NPTF thread connection in flexible hose assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified trades technician familiar with threaded pipe fittings and hose assembly practices. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form itself, but applying thread sealant compound or PTFE tape is standard practice and recommended for added leak protection. Do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches Male NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Operating Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40 to 160 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reusable Male Stem Hose Barb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 07217-041006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948268585266,"sku":"07217-041006","price":20.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0722068f2b3c5dfbb2645895df7a26a9.jpg?v=1791661037","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-07217-041006-reusable-male-stem-brass-fitting","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
