Need to connect a hose to a threaded port? This simple fitting has a 1/4\ male NPT thread on one end and a 1/4\ hose barb on the other. The barb end grips standard 1/4\ ID (inner diameter) tubing securely when clamped. Made from plated steel, it's durable enough for low-pressure air, water, fuel, or oil lines. The hex shape allows easy tightening with a wrench. Use it in pneumatic systems, coolant lines, aquariums, or DIY projects. It's a straight connector, so it doesn't change direction—just threads into a female NPT port and your hose slides over the barb. A basic but essential hardware piece for plumbing, automotive, or workshop applications. Unbranded but functional. Always use a hose clamp on the barb side to prevent leaks. Keep a few in your toolbox for quick repairs.
