Attwood Honda 3/8" Barb Female Hose Fitting - 90HP+

The Attwood Honda 3/8" Barb Female Hose Fitting - 90HP+ (MPN 8902-6) is a precision fuel system component engineered for high-performance marine and automotive applications requiring reliable fuel delivery. This barb fitting serves as a critical connection point in fuel lines, specifically designed for engines rated 90 horsepower and above. Whether you're rebuilding a carburetor fuel system, upgrading fuel line routing, or replacing corroded fittings on a classic Honda marine engine, this fitting provides the secure, leak-free connection that separates a smooth-running fuel system from costly fuel leaks and engine starvation.

The 3/8" inner diameter barb design creates a mechanical lock when inserted into flexible fuel hose, requiring hose clamps (sold separately) to secure the connection and withstand fuel system pressures. Attwood engineering ensures compatibility across fuel types—the fitting handles leaded, unleaded, ethanol-blended, and alcohol-blended fuels without degradation, making it suitable for vintage carbureted engines as well as modern fuel-injected systems. The female threaded port accepts male-threaded fuel line components and requires thread sealant application to all threaded surfaces, a standard practice that prevents fuel weeping at the joint and ensures compliance with pressure requirements in high-output engines.

Mechanics restoring Honda outboard motors, small-displacement marine engines, and vintage automotive fuel systems rely on this fitting when original barbed connectors have corroded or become unavailable. The compact 2 x 2 x 5 inch footprint fits tight engine compartment routing, while the 0.3 lb weight has no measurable impact on weight distribution. Proper installation involves pushing the hose fully onto the barb until resistance is felt, then securing with two quality hose clamps positioned just behind the barb shoulder to prevent slippage under pressure. This fitting is an essential rebuild component for any technician servicing 90HP+ engines where fuel system integrity directly impacts reliability and safety.
