#6 Socketless Hose To 1/4 Male Pipe Fitting

The #6 Socketless Hose To 1/4 Male Pipe Fitting by AEROQUIP is a precision hydraulic adapter engineered for systems requiring reliable connections between hose assemblies and NPT male ports. Designed for pneumatic, hydraulic, and fluid transfer applications, this straight fitting eliminates the need for socket installation, reducing assembly time and potential leak points. Professionals and technicians working with industrial equipment, mobile hydraulics, and pneumatic systems rely on this fitting to maintain system integrity under pressure.

Constructed from durable brass, the socketless design features a #6 AN (Army Navy) hose barb that connects directly to 1/4 inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) male ports without requiring a separate socket component. The barb geometry provides secure mechanical grip on hose inner diameter, preventing slippage under operating pressure while the brass material offers excellent corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of fluids. The straight configuration allows for efficient port alignment in tight spaces, and the compact dimensions (1.5 × 1.05 × 4.05 inches) facilitate installation in confined equipment enclosures.

This fitting suits hydraulic system maintenance, equipment retrofitting, and custom hose assembly work where standard NPT connections are required. It is compatible with #6 AN hose sizes (3/8 inch inner diameter) and installs directly into any 1/4 inch NPT male port—common on pump outlets, manifold blocks, and filter housings. The socketless design reduces inventory requirements compared to traditional socket fittings, making it ideal for field repairs and system upgrades across agricultural, construction, and industrial mobile equipment platforms.
