#6 Socketless Hose To 3/8 Male Pipe Fitting

The #6 Socketless Hose To 3/8 Male Pipe Fitting by AEROQUIP is a straight-flow hydraulic adapter designed to connect AN hose barbs to NPT male ports with precision and reliability. This fitting serves critical roles in fluid transfer systems across industrial, mobile hydraulics, and equipment applications where secure, leak-free connections are non-negotiable. The socketless design eliminates the need for additional ferrule components, streamlining assembly and reducing potential failure points in pressurized systems.

Constructed from brass, this fitting offers excellent corrosion resistance and reliable performance in demanding environments. The #6 AN (37/64-inch) hose barb accommodates standard AN hose sizing and provides a positive mechanical lock when properly installed, ensuring the hose cannot slip or separate under operating pressure. The 3/8-inch NPT male thread conforms to National Pipe Thread standards, allowing direct integration into manifolds, pumps, and valves equipped with female NPT ports. The straight configuration ensures minimal flow turbulence and pressure drop, critical for maintaining system efficiency and protecting sensitive hydraulic components from cavitation damage.

Equipment operators, hydraulic technicians, and maintenance professionals benefit from this fitting's straightforward installation and proven durability in mobile hydraulics, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and industrial automation. Compatible with any system using #6 AN hose and 3/8 NPT female connections, this single fitting accommodates standard hose clamp installation and operates reliably across typical hydraulic fluid temperature and pressure ranges. The compact 4-inch overall length and lightweight profile make it ideal for space-constrained installations where assembly efficiency matters.
