This Dixon Boss MS Series stem hose fitting is made of plated steel and connects hose to a female NPT threaded connection. It has a barbed end to create a tight seal on a hose when used with a Boss clamp (not included) and male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on the other to connect to female NPT threaded connections. This Boss stem hose fitting is made of plated steel for greater corrosion resistance than unplated steel, and it has a Klingersil C-4401 nitrile, rubber bonded, non-asbestos washer for high heat resistance, chemical stability, high torque retention, and reduced turbulence.Hose fittings connect, control, change the direction of, and terminate the flow in piping and hose systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and other materials that resist corrosion, pressure, and wear. Hose fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, barbed, push-to-connect, dry disconnect, and others including those based on internationally-accepted specifications.

Hole smaller than it could be
The hole in the barb fitting end is much smaller than it could be. Definitely smaller than 3/8". I did not end up using it in my fuel system application. In other systems where maximum flow is less essential this fitting would be just fine.
