The fitting features a 1\/8 inch female NPSM swivel thread on one end and a 1\/4 inch hose barb on the other, allowing it to connect to 1\/4 inch inside diameter hose. The swivel design eases installation by allowing the body to rotate during thread engagement without twisting the attached hose. Plumbers, pipefitters, and general maintenance mechanics install this type of fitting in low-pressure fluid transfer, pneumatic, and lubrication line applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial fluid handling systems where a transition from a threaded port to a barbed hose connection is required. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and lubrication systems. The NPSM thread standard is a straight mechanical thread with a gasket seat, making it appropriate for applications where the sealing is accomplished at the gasket face rather than by thread taper. The 0.5 inch hex head allows for standard wrench engagement during installation and removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in water, air, and light chemical service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale NPSM swivel thread eliminates hose twist during assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch hose barb sized for 1\/4 inch inside diameter flexible hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch thread size fits common small-port fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGasket seat sealing surface at the female swivel end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 inch hex head for wrench installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard service fitting for systems requiring a 1\/8 inch female NPSM threaded port to 1\/4 inch inside diameter hose barb connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on fluid or pneumatic systems. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. The NPSM swivel thread seals at the gasket face, so inspect the gasket condition before assembly and do not rely on thread sealant tape as the primary seal. Tighten with a wrench to the hex head only, not to the hose barb, to avoid damaging the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPSM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hose Barb Gasket Seat x Female NPSM Swivel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Inside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarb Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Head Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 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: 1260402C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DIXON VALVE \u0026 COUPLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51710620107058,"sku":"1260402C","price":17.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/faaf1528e518005df8a5219fc7147924.jpg?v=1788468819","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dixon-valve-coupling-1260402c-barbed-hose-fitting-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
