The barbed end provides a secure, leak-resistant grip on the hose, while the female NPT thread seals against a male-threaded fitting or port. At 1.15 inches overall length and a hex head size of 0.625 inches, this compact fitting suits tight installations where a standard wrench is needed to achieve a proper seal. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial fluid-system installers work with this type of fitting in low-pressure fluid and air transfer lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where 1\/8-inch ID flexible hose must terminate at a threaded female NPT connection point. Typical install scenarios include equipment drain lines, compressed air lines, water supply connections, and similar fluid-handling assemblies. The NPTF thread standard ensures pressure-tight joints without relying solely on thread sealant, making it appropriate for demanding service conditions where leak-free performance is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in fluid and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPTF thread standard for pressure-tight, drip-free connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch female NPT thread mates to standard male-threaded ports and equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.125-inch barb size secures 1\/8-inch ID hose without clamps in light-duty service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.625-inch hex head allows installation with standard open-end or combination wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 1.15-inch overall length suits space-constrained plumbing and equipment enclosures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1\/8-inch ID flexible hose terminating at a 1\/4-inch female NPT threaded port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified fluid-systems technician. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Apply thread sealant tape or compound appropriate for the service fluid to the male threads before engaging the female NPT end, even with NPTF threads, for added assurance. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench on the hex head to achieve a snug, leak-free fit without overtightening brass threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hose Barb x Female NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Inside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarb Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Head Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40141734\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIXON VALVE COUPLING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1040204C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DIXON VALVE \u0026 COUPLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716383211826,"sku":"1040204C","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1e3016b5ee50d8f20ea48987be197211.jpg?v=1788525217","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dixon-valve-coupling-1040204c-barbed-hose-fitting","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
