One end has a 1\/4 inch NPT male pipe thread that screws into a fuel pump, fuel line fitting, or other threaded port, while the other end is a 1\/4 inch (6.35 mm) hose barb that a fuel hose pushes onto and is secured with a hose clamp. The fitting is machined from metal for a durable, corrosion-resistant connection point in the fuel system, with a machined finish. Sierra engineers this hose barb to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment part it replaces, and Sierra supplies parts like this one to OEM engine manufacturers and boat builders. It is commonly used in outboard fuel line assemblies where a compact, single-piece NPT-to-barb connector is needed to join rigid threaded fittings to flexible fuel hose. The 18-8042 ships as a single piece and is compact at roughly 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-8042\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Male Pipe Hose Barb Fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNPT Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch (6.35 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarb Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch (6.35 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multicolored\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sierra 18-8042 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-8042 is a hose barb fitting that connects a marine fuel hose to a threaded NPT port, such as a fuel pump or fuel line fitting, making it a common connector in outboard fuel line assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size hose does the 18-8042 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a 1\/4 inch (6.35 mm) hose barb, so it is sized for 1\/4 inch inside-diameter fuel hose that is pushed onto the barb and secured with a hose clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thread size is on the Sierra 18-8042?\u003c\/strong\u003e The threaded end is 1\/4 inch NPT male pipe thread, which screws into a matching female NPT port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-8042 a male or female fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e The NPT end of the 18-8042 is male pipe thread, meaning it threads into a female-threaded port; the opposite end is a barb, not a threaded connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Sierra 18-8042 made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e This hose barb fitting is machined from metal with a machined finish for durability in the marine fuel system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-8042 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-8042 weighs 0.05 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 18-8042 hose barb?\u003c\/strong\u003e The fitting measures approximately 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many pieces come in a package of the 18-8042?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-8042 is sold as a single piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Sierra manufacture this part to OEM standards?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Sierra engineers the 18-8042 to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment part it replaces, and Sierra supplies parts to OEM engine manufacturers and boat builders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the 18-8042 installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e Thread the 1\/4 inch NPT end of the 18-8042 into the mating port, then push the fuel hose onto the 1\/4 inch barb end and secure it with a hose clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988432400603,"sku":"SIE-18-8042","price":6.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/18-8042__51482.1722493418.500.750.jpg?v=1785189014","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-8042-marine-hose-barb-fitting-1-4-barb-x-1-4-npt-male-machined-metal-fuel-line-connector","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
