SOKA 1/4″ NPT Female x 3/16″ Hose Barb Tail Brass Fuel Fitting

Description

Product Overview

The SOKA 1/4 NPT female to 3/16 hose barb brass fuel fitting connector adapter is engineered for precision and durability in demanding fluid transfer applications. Crafted from high‑grade brass, the fitting offers excellent resistance to corrosion, wear, and temperature extremes, maintaining structural integrity from -20 °C to 120 °C. Its 1/4″ NPT female thread provides a tight, leak‑free seal when mated with standard NPT male threads, while the 3/16″ hose barb end securely grips hoses with an inner diameter of 3/16″, ensuring a stable, vibration‑resistant connection. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 229 psi, this adapter is suitable for gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and other common fuels, delivering consistent performance across automotive, marine, and industrial settings. The design incorporates a smooth, rounded barb profile that minimizes hose abrasion and simplifies installation, reducing the need for additional clamps in many cases. With its compact form factor, the adapter fits easily into tight spaces, making it a versatile solution for both new builds and retrofit projects. SOKA’s commitment to quality control means each unit undergoes rigorous testing for dimensional accuracy, pressure tolerance, and leak integrity, guaranteeing that the product meets or exceeds industry standards.

Usage

Designed for a broad range of real‑world scenarios, this brass fuel fitting adapter excels in automotive fuel line repairs, marine engine installations, and industrial equipment maintenance. In automotive applications, it provides a reliable link between fuel tanks, pumps, and injectors, supporting high‑performance engines that demand precise fuel delivery. Marine technicians rely on its corrosion‑resistant properties to connect fuel lines on outboard motors and inboard propulsion systems, where exposure to saltwater and harsh weather is routine. In industrial environments, the adapter is employed in generators, forklifts, and construction equipment, where robust fuel connections are essential for uninterrupted operation. The adapter’s compatibility with standard 1/4″ NPT threads allows it to interface seamlessly with a wide variety of existing components, while the 3/16″ hose barb end accommodates common hose sizes used in these sectors. Installation is straightforward: simply thread the NPT side into the corresponding male fitting, apply a suitable thread sealant if desired, and push the hose onto the barb until it seats firmly. The adapter’s design eliminates the need for additional fittings in many cases, streamlining the assembly process and reducing overall system complexity.
