Eaton 05706B-C02 Brass Barbed Elbow Hose Fitting

Product Description

The EATON 05706B-C02 is a brass barbed elbow hose fitting designed to connect flexible hose to a threaded port in a 90-degree orientation. It features a 1/8 inch Male NPTF threaded end and a 3/8 inch ID barbed end, allowing a secure, leak-resistant transition between rigid threaded connections and flexible hose lines. The NPTF thread form creates a pressure-tight mechanical seal without the need for sealant tape in many applications, though thread sealant is commonly used as standard practice. With an overall length of 1.35 inches and a brass body, this fitting is suited for fluid transfer lines in plumbing, pneumatic, and low-pressure hydraulic assemblies where a directional change in the line is required.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications where flexible hose must connect to a 1/8 inch NPTF threaded port at a right-angle transition. Typical installation scenarios include fuel lines, air lines, coolant lines, and water supply connections in HVAC equipment, appliances, and general plumbing systems. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals install this type of fitting during system assembly or repair when routing constraints require a directional change at the connection point.

Key Features

• 1/8 inch Male NPTF threaded end provides a pressure-tight threaded connection
• 3/8 inch ID barbed end accepts standard 3/8 inch ID flexible hose

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 3/8 inch ID flexible hose with a 1/8 inch NPTF threaded port connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or HVAC technician following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the system being serviced. Shut off fluid or air supply and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any hose fitting. Apply thread sealant to the NPTF male threads as required by local code or system requirements. Secure the hose onto the barb with an appropriate hose clamp to prevent blowoff under pressure.
