GASHER 2PCS 1/4" Brass Hose Barb 4-Way Fitting

By GASHER

9.1Excellent matchFeature and use-case score

A budget forged-brass 4-way barb for splitting or joining four 1/4" hose lines — useful for low-pressure fuel, air, or liquid runs, but its 150 psi ceiling means it's not a hydraulic-circuit part despite living in that Amazon category.

Forged brass body, described by the manufacturer as tougher than cast brass
4-way cross design splits or joins four 1/4" ID hose lines from one point
Rated to 150 psi max working pressure, -65°F to 250°F

Product overview

GASHER's 1/4-Inch Brass 4-Way Hose Barb, Plainly Stated

This is a two-piece pack of forged-brass, four-way (cross) hose barb fittings sized for 1/4 inch ID hose, sold with eight hose clamps included, intended to split or join fuel, air, or liquid hose lines from a single brass body.

GASHER states a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and an operating temperature range of -65°F to 250°F for this fitting, describing the brass as forged (generally tougher than cast brass) with an extended barb/band liner meant to protect the hose from cutting or extrusion damage at the clamp point.

We found consistent spec language for this fitting across GASHER's broader hose-barb catalog on Amazon, but no independent pressure or burst test specific to this 1/4-inch, 4-way SKU. General buyer feedback on GASHER's brass hose-barb line — aggregated across similar listings rather than confirmed specific to this exact ASIN — describes the brass as solid and adequately made, with mixed opinions on the bundled hose clamps; some buyers prefer to swap in their own clamps for critical joints.

At a 150 psi ceiling, this fitting is squarely a low-pressure accessory — fine for splitting fuel lines, air hose branches, coolant lines, or similar hobby and light-DIY plumbing, but not a substitute for a rated hydraulic fitting in any circuit that can spike above that number. "Hydraulic" in this guide's category name refers to the broader parts category the fitting is grouped under, not a claim that this specific barb is rated for hydraulic system pressures.

Like all barbed fittings, seal quality depends heavily on matching hose ID precisely and using a properly sized, properly torqued clamp — the barb and liner alone won't hold pressure without a correctly clamped hose.

Key Listed Features

Forged brass body, described by the manufacturer as tougher than cast brass

4-way cross design splits or joins four 1/4" ID hose lines from one point

Rated to 150 psi max working pressure, -65°F to 250°F

Barbed ends with a raised band/liner meant to resist hose cutting and blow-off

Includes 8 hose clamps (for the two fittings' four ports each) in the kit

Suited for fuel, air, and liquid hose intersections in light-duty applications

Good fit for

DIYers and small-engine, marine, or ATV builders needing to split or combine four low-pressure hose lines (fuel, air, coolant, or light liquid) from one brass fitting
Budget-conscious buyers who don't need NSF- or UL-certified fittings for a hobby or non-critical system
Not a fit for true hydraulic circuits, compressed air above 150 psi, or code-regulated potable-water or gas applications

Check before buying

150 psi is a modest ceiling — don't use this on any circuit or air line that can spike above that, despite "hydraulic" appearing in the broader parts category
Brass hose barbs rely on the clamp, not the barb alone, for the pressure seal — use clamps rated for your hose OD and torque per the hose maker's spec
Confirm your hose is actually 1/4" ID; barb fittings are hose-ID specific and a loose or oversized hose will leak regardless of fitting quality
Verify chemical compatibility for your specific fluid (some fuel additive blends can be harsh on certain hose/clamp materials), not just "fuel-rated" in general
This is a 2-piece pack — check current listing photos for exact clamp size/type before assuming they fit heavier-wall hose
