HOSE BARB ML 1/4X3/8

The HOSE BARB ML 1/4X3/8 refers to a male hose barb fitting with these specifications:

Barb size:
1/4 inch on one end
3/8 inch on the other end
This type of fitting allows you to connect two hoses with different inner diameters:

A hose with a 1/4 inch inner diameter on the smaller barb end.
A hose with a 3/8 inch inner diameter on the larger barb end.
Here's a breakdown of some important considerations:

Material: Commonly, hose barb fittings are made of brass, stainless steel, or plastic. The best material depends on your application and the type of fluid or gas flowing through it.
Temperature and Pressure Rating: The fitting's temperature and pressure rating depend on the material and design. Choose a fitting suitable for your application's maximum temperature and pressure.
Clamp: While the barbs create a tight grip, some applications, especially those with high pressure or vibration, might require an additional clamp for better hold.
