Straight Hose Barb Fitti ng 1/4 NPT F x 3/8 Barb

The DERALE Straight Hose Barb Fitting 1/4 NPT F x 3/8 Barb is a precision hydraulic adapter designed for custom cooling system builds, transmission line routing, and fuel system modifications on high-performance vehicles. This fitting is essential for mechanics integrating aftermarket radiators, auxiliary coolers, or turbo oil supply lines that demand reliable, leak-free connections.

Engineered with a straight barb design, this fitting connects a 3/8-inch hose directly to a 1/4 NPT female port without bends or elbows, reducing turbulence and pressure drop across the line. The barb geometry grips hose material securely when properly installed with a hose clamp, ensuring a strong connection. DERALE's precision machining guarantees consistent bore sizing and thread accuracy, which are critical in high-flow applications.

Fabricators and performance shops benefit from this adapter when plumbing auxiliary transmission coolers, engine oil coolers, or intercooler charge-air systems where space constraints rule out standard 90-degree or 45-degree adapters. Its compact design fits tight engine bays, making it a versatile choice for various automotive applications.
