Parker 30182-6-6B Male Connector 3/8-18 Nptf Brass Barb

Product Description

The PARKER 30182-6-6B is a barbed push-on hose male connector designed for use in fluid transfer and pneumatic line assemblies. The fitting features a 3/8-18 male NPTF threaded end that seals on thread engagement, paired with a 3/8 inch barb shank for secure push-on hose attachment. Constructed from brass, the fitting provides solid corrosion resistance in fuel, oil, water, and low-pressure air applications. The overall length measures 1.78 inches. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance crews use this style of fitting when connecting flexible hose to threaded ports on equipment, manifolds, and valves.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a threaded NPTF port must transition to a barbed hose run. Typical applications include refrigerant oil lines, hydraulic return lines, coolant circuits, compressed air distribution, and general fluid handling systems. The push-on barb end accepts standard hose inner diameters matching the 3/8 inch barb, making field assembly straightforward without specialty tooling.

Key Features

• 3/8-18 male NPTF thread for dry-seal engagement with minimal thread sealant
• 3/8 inch barbed shank for push-on hose retention without clamps in low-pressure service
• Brass construction resists corrosion in water, oil, and fuel service environments
• Compact 1.78 inch body length suits tight-clearance installations
• Single-piece design with no internal components to fail or clog

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for systems using 3/8-18 NPTF threaded ports and 3/8 inch inside-diameter push-on hose in fluid transfer or pneumatic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified industrial mechanics. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves; apply thread sealant tape or compound per the system manufacturer's recommendation and applicable plumbing or mechanical codes. Secure the barbed end with the appropriate hose and verify there are no leaks before returning the system to service.
