The fitting features a hose barb on one end for a secure, leak-resistant grip on flexible hose and a female swivel ball-end on the other end to mate with male NPSM-threaded ports. The swivel design allows the fitting to be oriented without twisting the hose, simplifying routing in tight spaces. Plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid-handling technicians install this type of fitting in low-pressure liquid and air transfer applications where a reliable barb-to-female connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for use in residential and light commercial fluid systems, compressed air lines, and general-purpose hydraulic or pneumatic assemblies that run 1\/4 inch ID flexible hose terminated at a 1\/8 inch NPSM female port. Its brass construction makes it compatible with water, air, and a range of non-corrosive fluids. The compact size and swivel ball-end make it a practical choice for equipment, appliance, and tubing installations where alignment between the hose and the threaded port is not fixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in water and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHose barb end accepts 1\/4 inch ID flexible hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale swivel ball-end allows free rotation for easier hose routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch NPSM thread standard for compatibility with standard straight-thread ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.1 pounds for use in space-constrained assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems using 1\/4 inch ID flexible hose terminated at a 1\/8 inch NPSM female swivel port in fluid transfer and compressed air applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or system-specific guidelines. Shut off fluid or air supply and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any hose fitting. Slide a hose clamp onto the hose before inserting the barb, then seat the barb fully before positioning and tightening the clamp. Do not overtighten the swivel connection on the threaded port, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.\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 Swivel Ball-End\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPSM\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\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: MSC1240402K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DIXON VALVE \u0026 COUPLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690844356914,"sku":"MSC1240402K","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c12fecfdae219ad70f4ccf69a9970908.jpg?v=1788276167","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dixon-valve-coupling-msc1240402k-barbed-hose-fitting","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
