Value Collection 2751002040 Barbed Hose Fitting 1/4 Npt X 3/8 Id

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2751002040 is a brass female connector barbed hose fitting designed to join a 3/8 inch inside diameter hose to a 1/4 inch female NPT threaded port. The fitting features a hose barb on one end and a female NPT thread on the other, providing a secure, leak-resistant transition between rigid piping and flexible hose. Brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability in fluid handling and pneumatic applications. This fitting is sold in a pack of 5 units, making it practical for service techs and tradespeople stocking multiple connection points in a single job. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors routinely install this style of fitting in water, air, and light fluid transfer lines.

This barbed hose fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, compressed air distribution, and fluid transfer systems where a 1/4 inch NPT port must connect to 3/8 inch ID flexible hose. The female NPT thread connects directly to standard male NPT fittings on valves, manifolds, pumps, and equipment ports. The barbed end grips the hose interior to resist pull-off under normal working pressures. The compact form factor allows installation in tight spaces typical of mechanical rooms and equipment cabinets.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation female connector barbed hose fitting for systems using 1/4 inch NPT threaded ports and 3/8 inch inside diameter flexible hose in plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the air or fluid line completely before connecting or removing any fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male NPT threads before engaging the female NPT end to ensure a leak-free seal. Secure the hose over the barbed end with an appropriately sized hose clamp for the service pressure of the system.
