Parker 125HBLSV-6-6 Brass Barbed Hose Fitting 3/8in

Product Description

The PARKER 125HBLSV-6-6 is a brass male connector barbed hose fitting designed for threaded fluid-line connections in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial service applications. It features a hose barb end on one side and a male swivel NPT thread on the other, allowing a secure, leak-resistant transition from rigid pipe to flexible hose. The fitting accepts 3/8 inches inside diameter hose and is rated for working temperatures from -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipe fitters install this type of fitting as part of pressurized fluid transfer assemblies.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial systems where 3/8 inches ID flexible hose connects to a 3/8 inches NPT male threaded port. Common applications include water supply lines, coolant circuits, compressed air auxiliary lines, and fluid transfer systems that require a removable, field-serviceable barbed connection. The swivel NPT thread simplifies alignment during installation and reduces torque transferred to downstream tubing.

Key Features

• Hose barb x male swivel NPT end configuration for tool-free hose attachment and threaded port connection
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in water, air, and light fluid service
• 3/8 inches NPT thread with 3/8 inches ID hose barb — matched sizes reduce adapter count
• Operating temperature range: -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F
• Barb diameter of 0.415 inches provides positive hose retention without clamps in low-pressure applications
• Overall length of 2.14 inches suits tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inches inside diameter flexible hose and 3/8 inches NPT male-threaded ports in standard plumbing, HVAC, and fluid transfer assemblies.

Installation Notes

Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any hose fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads per applicable plumbing code requirements. Slide a hose clamp onto the hose before pushing it fully onto the barb, then position and tighten the clamp past the barb bead for a secure seal. This fitting should be installed by a qualified plumber or HVAC technician familiar with local piping codes.
