It features a 1-inch hose barb on one end and a 1-inch male NPT threaded connection on the other, providing a straight transition from flexible hose to a threaded port. The beaded hose barb design improves grip and retention on the hose end. Rated for use from -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F, this fitting suits a wide range of fluid handling systems where reliable brass construction and NPT compatibility are required. Licensed trade professionals and experienced installers use this fitting in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving flexible hose runs connected to threaded ports. Typical installations include water supply lines, coolant circuits, and general fluid transfer systems where a 1-inch ID hose must terminate at a 1-inch NPT male connection. The beaded barb helps secure the hose under pressure and reduces the risk of blowoff. It is commonly installed by plumbers and mechanical contractors working on systems that operate within the rated temperature range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeaded 1-inch hose barb for improved hose retention and resistance to blowoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch male NPT threaded end for standard threaded port connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers corrosion resistance in water and fluid transfer service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length of 2.31 inches fits compact installation spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex head size of 1.38 inches allows use of standard wrenches during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for systems using 1-inch ID flexible hose with 1-inch NPT threaded ports in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid transfer applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the fluid system before removing or installing any fittings. Use a wrench on the hex head to tighten the NPT threads — do not over-tighten brass fittings, as the material can crack. Secure the hose onto the barb with an appropriate clamp to maintain a leak-free connection under working pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\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 inch\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\u003eHose Inside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarb Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Head Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.38 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.31 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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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-16-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540045300018,"sku":"68HB-16-16","price":67.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fbec32238c01200019e196e6fb2ca82e.jpg?v=1785845913","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-68hb-16-16-brass-barbed-hose-fitting-1-in-npt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
