The Relaxn 1/4" NPT 10mm Brass Hose Tail keeps fuel lines sorted when you need to jump from a 1/4" NPT port to 10mm hose on a small tank or filter head. The 3/8" or 9.5mm barb matches standard fuel hose used on tinnies and smaller cruisers, so you can swap fittings without re-plumbing the whole line. The compact hex makes it simple to nip up with a spanner in tight corners. Relaxn builds this hose tail from solid brass so it handles regular contact with petrol or diesel and the odd salty bilge splash. The tapered 1/4" NPT thread mates cleanly with matching ports to cut down on seepage when you use the right sealant. The single-piece body means fewer joins and less chance of a weep halfway through a trip. For small fuel jobs, it is a smart buy for tidy setups.

Q: Can this brass hose tail be used with diesel fuel?
Yes, this brass hose tail is suitable for diesel fuel. Brass is commonly used in low-pressure diesel supply lines and fittings. This tail suits 3/8" (9.5mm) diesel hose connected to a 1/4" NPT port. Always pair it with hose and clamps that are specifically rated for diesel use.
Q: Do I need thread tape or sealant on the 1/4" NPT thread?
Yes, a suitable thread sealant is recommended on the 1/4" NPT thread. NPT threads seal through both taper and sealant working together. A fuel-compatible thread tape or liquid sealant helps fill minor gaps. This reduces the risk of slow weeps around the fitting over time.
Q: What hose size will this fitting actually grip properly?
This fitting is made for 3/8" or 9.5mm internal diameter hose. The barbed tail profile matches that bore so the hose can stretch over the barb and bite down. Undersized hose may not slide on cleanly. Oversized hose may not clamp firmly and can lead to leaks.
Q: Is this hose tail suitable for high-pressure fuel injection lines?
No, this hose tail is intended for low-pressure fuel supply or return lines only. High-pressure injection systems often operate well above typical hose clamp ratings. Those setups usually require crimped or specialised fittings. Use this brass tail on the suction or low-pressure side where clamp-on barbed connections are specified.
