3/8" Barbed Hose Fitting - 1/2" Male NPT

The 3/8" Barbed Hose Fitting - 1/2" Male NPT is a stainless steel brewing fitting designed to connect 5/16” inner diameter transfer tubing to equipment with 1/2” NPT female ports. Commonly used with brew kettle ball valves, this fitting helps create secure liquid transfer connections for moving wort, beer, wine, or other brewing liquids between vessels. The barbed end grips compatible tubing while the threaded male NPT connection installs into standard brewing valves and fittings.

Constructed from durable 304 stainless steel, this fitting is designed for repeated use in homebrewing and fermentation workflows. The stainless steel construction supports brewing sanitation practices while resisting corrosion during repeated exposure to liquids and cleaning solutions. Its compact design makes it suitable for kettle transfers, racking systems, and custom brewing equipment setups.

The fitting features a 3/8" barbed connection paired with 1/2" male NPT threads. It is compatible with 5/16” transfer tubing and standard 1/2” NPT female ball valves commonly found on ported brew kettles and brewing systems. The barbed connection helps secure tubing during liquid movement while supporting efficient transfer workflows.

To use, thread the fitting into a compatible 1/2” NPT female port and tighten appropriately. Attach 5/16” transfer tubing over the barbed fitting and secure with a compatible hose clamp if desired. Clean and sanitize thoroughly before and after brewing use.

Widely used in homebrewing transfer systems, the 3/8" Barbed Hose Fitting - 1/2" Male NPT provides a reusable stainless steel connection solution for brew kettles, transfer tubing, and liquid handling setups.
