It features a hose barb on one end and a female swivel ball-end on the other, allowing rotational adjustment during installation to reduce hose strain and simplify alignment. The fitting uses NPSM thread standard for the female connection. Constructed from brass, it resists corrosion in moderate fluid and air service applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and general fluid-handling technicians install this type of fitting where a secure, leak-resistant barb-to-thread transition is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting suits residential and light commercial fluid transfer, compressed air, and low-pressure water line applications. It is appropriate wherever a 1\/4-inch ID hose must terminate at a 3\/8-inch female threaded port. The swivel ball-end design helps where hose routing creates angular misalignment at the connection point, reducing stress on both the hose and the threaded port. It is sold and packaged as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance for fluid, air, and water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale swivel ball-end allows rotational adjustment to ease hose routing and reduce strain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch NPSM female thread with 0.75-inch hex head for wrench engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.25-inch barb size matches 1\/4-inch ID hose for a secure grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded connection type for straightforward installation with standard hand tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-unit packaging with no minimum order beyond one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install barbed hose fitting for systems using 1\/4-inch inside diameter hose terminated at a 3\/8-inch NPSM female threaded port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter should install this fitting in systems subject to local code requirements. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing any existing fitting or making a new connection. Use an appropriately sized wrench on the 0.75-inch hex head to seat the female swivel end without over-tightening, which can crack brass fittings. Ensure the barb is fully inserted into the hose and secured with an appropriate clamp before returning the line to service.\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 Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPSM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Inside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\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: 0.75 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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: MSC1240406K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DIXON VALVE \u0026 COUPLING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697177002290,"sku":"MSC1240406K","price":16.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0e09b25670614cee86f9679625eab80d.jpg?v=1788350273","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dixon-valve-coupling-msc1240406k-barbed-hose-fitting","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
