Description

Overview

The 3/8 x 1/8 NPT hose barb connects flexible hose with a 3/8″ internal diameter to a female 1/8 NPT port. Its straight brass body combines a ribbed hose tail, central hex and tapered male thread, creating a compact hose-to-port connection without a separate adaptor.

Features

• 3/8″ barb matches compatible hose by internal diameter
• 1/8 NPT male thread connects to a matching female port
• Ribbed tail supports retention with a suitable hose clamp
• Hex shoulder provides a defined surface for tightening

Compatibility and Fitment

Check both connections independently. The barb size refers to hose internal diameter, while the threaded side must enter a 1/8 NPT female port. Do not select the barb from the hose outside diameter or force the tapered NPT thread into a BSP port. Cut the hose square, push it fully over the ribs and secure it with a clamp or crimped ferrule suited to the hose.

Compliance and Safety

Depressurise and drain the system before removing or installing the fitting. Apply compatible thread sealant to the male NPT thread while keeping excess material away from the passage. Tighten through the hex rather than gripping the barb. Restore pressure gradually, then inspect the thread and hose connection for leaks or movement.

Trailer Applications

The 3/8 x 1/8 NPT hose barb suits compatible pneumatic and general fluid circuits on trucks, trailers, workshop equipment and machinery. It provides a direct transition where 3/8″ flexible hose terminates at a small 1/8 NPT port, including valve, regulator, gauge and accessory connections where all component ratings match the system.
