This stainless steel hose adaptor has a 1/4" female end for connecting to threaded pipe conforming to National Pipe Thread (NPT) standards and a 5/16" barbed fitting for connecting to hose with a inside diameter. The barbed fitting on one end creates a tight seal on flexible or semi-rigid hose when used with a hose clamp or crimp sleeve or ferrule (sold separately), and a female NPT fitting on the other end connects to threaded pipe to form a tight, fixed connection.

This fitting is made of 304 stainless steel for strength and resistance to corrosion.
