#6 X 3/8 Hose Barb Fitting

The FRAGOLA #6 X 3/8 Hose Barb Fitting (part number 484106) is a precision-engineered adapter designed to connect AN-size hydraulic and fluid transfer lines to 3/8-inch hose barb applications. This straight fitting bridges the gap between high-pressure rated 6 AN male threads and standard hose barb systems, making it essential for custom fluid systems in performance vehicles, racing applications, and industrial hydraulic setups.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in blue anodized coating, this adapter provides corrosion resistance and reliable performance in demanding environments. The 6 AN to 3/8-inch barb configuration allows seamless integration where existing hose infrastructure uses standard barb fittings but incoming lines feature military-spec AN connectors. Blue anodizing not only enhances durability against oxidation but also aids in visual system identification during assembly and maintenance. The straight design eliminates unnecessary bends, reducing turbulence and potential flow restriction in fluid delivery.

This fitting is commonly specified in custom cooling systems, fuel delivery upgrades, power steering modifications, and transmission cooler installations where AN-rated plumbing meets standard automotive hose. Builders and technicians working on fuel system conversions, turbo installations, and supercharger manifold plumbing rely on FRAGOLA adapters for consistent, leak-free connections. Its compact weight (0.03 lbs) and space-efficient profile make it ideal for tight engine bays and under-car applications.

FRAGOLA is recognized in the performance automotive and racing community for precision fitting manufacture and quality control. The 484106 is a single unit, providing one connection point; additional fittings may be required depending on system layout. Verify hose barb inner diameter and AN thread compatibility before installation to ensure proper seal and flow integrity.
