Parker PP-00395 Barbed Hose Male Connector 3/8 in Barb

Product Description

The PARKER PP-00395 is a barbed push-on hose male connector designed for secure, leak-resistant fluid line connections in hydraulic, pneumatic, and general industrial plumbing applications. It features a 3/8 inch barb that grips push-on hose without clamps in low-pressure service, and a 1/4-18 MNPTF threaded end for direct connection to female NPT ports. Constructed from stainless steel, this fitting resists corrosion in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. At 1.78 inches in length, it is compact enough for tight installations. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, HVAC condensate lines, compressed air circuits, and fluid transfer assemblies where a push-on hose must terminate at a threaded male port. The MNPTF thread form creates a pressure-tight seal on mating female NPT fittings. Stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for applications involving moisture, mild chemicals, or stainless system requirements. The package contains 2 pieces per unit, making it practical for multi-point installations or service stock.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 3/8 inch push-on hose with 1/4-18 MNPTF threaded female ports in plumbing, HVAC, pneumatic, and fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified maintenance technician familiar with threaded pipe fittings and hose assembly practices. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. MNPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form; verify thread engagement is sufficient and inspect for cross-threading before pressurizing. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for fluid system fittings in your jurisdiction.
