Description
Barbed straight fitting — #6 female O-ring × #6 hose
A straight barbed A/C hose fitting with a #6 female O-ring swivel on one end and a #6 hose barb on the other. The barbed, clamp-on design pushes onto the hose and secures with a hose clamp or ferrule — no hydraulic crimper required — which makes it ideal for field repairs and quick builds. The swivel nut spins freely to line up your connection without twisting the hose.
Barbed (clamp-on) vs. beadlock (crimp). This barbed fitting secures with a hose clamp or ferrule — no hydraulic crimper needed — so it's perfect for roadside and shop repairs. If you want a permanent, OE-style crimped connection (and have a crimper), use the matching beadlock version (235-1502) instead.
