The fitting features a beaded hose barb profile, which bites into the hose wall for positive retention without additional clamps in low-pressure applications, though clamps are still recommended for reliability. Constructed entirely from brass, it resists corrosion in water, air, and many fluid-transfer applications. Rated for service from -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F, this fitting suits a wide range of HVAC, plumbing, and general fluid-handling installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC condensate drain lines, equipment cooling circuits, water supply connections, and compressed-air or pneumatic hose assemblies where a threaded port must transition to a flexible hose. The 1\/2 inch NPT thread mates directly to standard NPT-tapped ports on pumps, valves, and equipment manifolds. The 5\/8 inch ID barb accepts standard flexible hose of matching inside diameter. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters typically install this fitting in new construction and service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBeaded hose barb profile provides positive grip on 5\/8 inch ID hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch NPT male thread conforms to standard NPT thread form for broad port compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction resists corrosion in water, air, and compatible fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F for hot and cold fluid applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact overall length of 1.92 inches suits tight installation spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.875 inch hex head allows standard wrench tightening without marring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style male connector hose barb fitting for use with 5\/8 inch ID flexible hose and any equipment or valve body with a standard 1\/2 inch NPT female port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the NPT male threads before assembly and tighten with a wrench to the hex flats — do not over-tighten or use the hose barb as a grip point. Secure the hose to the barb with an appropriately rated hose clamp when the application involves pressure or vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hose Barb x Male NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Inside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarb Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Head Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.92 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160 degrees F (71.1 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40 degrees F (-40 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Feature\u003c\/strong\u003e: Beaded Hose Barb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.13 pounds\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: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 68HB-10-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542315303218,"sku":"68HB-10-8","price":23.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fbec32238c01200019e196e6fb2ca82e_5810f1c5-c946-45c2-8af4-b8935c431648.jpg?v=1785897886","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-68hb-10-8-barbed-hose-fitting-1-2-npt-x-5-8-id-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
