The barbed end grips the hose ID to create a secure, leak-resistant seal without a clamp in low-pressure applications, while the tapered NPTF threads form a pressure-tight mechanical seal at the port connection. This fitting is used in fluid transfer, fuel, and pneumatic line assemblies across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work. It is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and equipment service technicians where a hose-to-pipe-thread transition is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 32003 suits residential and light commercial applications where a small-diameter flexible hose must terminate at a male NPTF fitting port. Common install scenarios include condensate and drain line fittings, fuel line transitions, and pneumatic control tubing connections. The straight orientation keeps the assembly compact in tight equipment cabinets and panels. This fitting is not rated as lead-free and should not be used in potable water service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16 inch hose barb end accepts standard 3\/16 inch ID flexible hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch male NPTF threads provide a dry-seal, pressure-tight connection at the port\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight orientation for compact, in-line installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers corrosion resistance in fuel, pneumatic, and fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRigid one-piece design with no moving parts for long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems requiring a 3\/16 inch hose barb to 1\/4 inch male NPTF adapter in straight orientation.

Shut off fluid or air supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. NPTF threads are designed for dry-seal engagement, but thread sealant tape may be applied per local code and manufacturer practice. Do not overtighten the barb connection; secure the hose with an appropriate clamp where required by the application or applicable code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose ID (Barb End)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size (Male End)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnds Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch Hose Barb x 1\/4 inch Male NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass (Not Lead Free)\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: MIDLAND METAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51468452593970,"sku":"32003","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-metal-32003-brass-hose-barb-adapter-3-16-x-1-4-nptf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
