Description
The 3/8″ Barb 304 Stainless Steel Liquid Fitting is a precision-engineered connector designed for high-performance beverage dispensing. This fitting is the industrial-standard bridge for Flojet G-Series, 5000 Series, and FJ Style gas or liquid pumps. By utilizing a 3/8″ hose barb, it allows for a high-flow connection to standard beverage tubing, ensuring your pump operates at peak efficiency without flow restriction.
Constructed from 304-grade stainless steel, this fitting is an essential upgrade over standard plastic ports. Stainless steel is non-porous and chemically inert, meaning it will not absorb flavors from pungent syrups or degrade when exposed to the high acidity found in wine, fruit juices, or soda concentrates. The machined O-ring groove ensures a perfect, airtight seal within the pump’s slide-port, eliminating the “air-gulping” issues that cause pumps to cycle and fail prematurely.
Why Professionals Choose 3/8″ Stainless Ports:Plastic fittings are the “weakest link” in a pump rack—they are prone to hairline fractures and port-snaps during routine maintenance. This stainless steel fitting provides a permanent, heavy-duty solution. It allows for the use of Oetiker-style stepless clamps to be crimped tightly onto the barb without the risk of crushing the fitting, ensuring a 100% leak-proof system in high-volume commercial environments.
Technician’s Fitment Check:This is a “Slide-Port” fitting. To install, pull the grey or red slide-clip on your Flojet pump out, insert this fitting until it bottoms out, and push the clip back in to lock.Clamp Recommendation: For standard 3/8″ ID x 1/2″ OD tubing, use a 15.7mm or 17.0mm Stepless Clamp for a permanent, vibration-proof seal.
