It has a male connection type with a 3\/8 inch (9.53mm) barb on one end and a 3\/8 inch (9.53mm) NPT thread on the other, letting it join standard 3\/8 inch marine fuel hose to a 3\/8 inch NPT port. The barbed end is designed to grip hose securely when paired with the correct hose clamp, resisting slippage and fuel leaks under engine vibration and pressure changes typical of a marine fuel system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSierra engineers its marine parts to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment they replace, and this hose barb is manufactured to the same standard, making it a dependable choice for fuel line repairs, replacements, or new fuel system builds on boats. Its compact size (0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches) and light weight make it easy to fit into tight engine compartments and existing fuel line routing.\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 18-8108\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hose Barb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarb Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8 inch (9.53mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNPT Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8 inch (9.53mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282125615\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Sierra 18-8108 hose barb?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-8108 is a 3\/8 inch by 3\/8 inch fitting, with a 3\/8 inch (9.53mm) barb end and a 3\/8 inch (9.53mm) NPT male thread on the other end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-8108 a male or female fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a male connection type fitting, designed to thread into a female NPT port while the opposite end accepts hose over its barbed profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat hose size does this barb fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The barbed end of the Sierra 18-8108 is sized for 3\/8 inch marine fuel hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material or finish is the Sierra 18-8108 hose barb?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-8108 has a machined exterior finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-8108 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This hose barb weighs 0.06 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 18-8108 fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e Product dimensions are 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches, a compact size intended for tight engine compartment fuel line routing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a hose clamp with the Sierra 18-8108?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, a hose clamp should be used over the barbed end to secure the fuel hose and prevent slippage or leaks, since the fitting itself is a barb, not a clamped or threaded hose connector on that end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-8108 genuine Sierra or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-8108 is manufactured by Sierra and built to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment part it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the Sierra 18-8108 be used for fuel system repairs?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this 3\/8 inch by 3\/8 inch male hose barb is intended for marine fuel system plumbing, including fuel line repairs and replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat NPT thread size does the 18-8108 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The threaded end of the Sierra 18-8108 is a 3\/8 inch (9.53mm) NPT male thread.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988432924891,"sku":"SIE-18-8108","price":5.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/18-8108__93331.1722346667.500.750.jpg?v=1785189103","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-8108-marine-fuel-hose-barb-fitting-3-8-barb-x-3-8-npt-male-connector","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
