The 3/16 x 1/4 Hose Barb x Female Iron Pipe Rigid Adapter is a fitting that transitions between a hose and a female iron pipe thread. The hose barb side is designed for securely attaching flexible hose, while the FIP side is threaded to connect to standard female iron pipe fittings. This adapter is commonly used for connection between a hose and a pipe, in different applications such as irrigation, plumbing, and industrial systems. Built from high-quality brass, this connector ensures a strong and secure union for gas or fluid lines in welding systems.
