Eaton 10004B-102 Barbed Hose Male Connector 1/4 in Brass

Product Description

The EATON 10004B-102 is a barbed push-on hose male connector designed for use in hydraulic and fluid transfer applications. Machined from brass, this fitting features a 1/4 inch barb on one end and a 1/8-27 NPT threaded connection on the other, allowing a hose to be pushed onto the barb and secured without additional fittings. At 1.29 inches in length with a 7/16 inch hex, it is compact enough for tight installations. It is rated to a maximum working pressure of 10,000 psi, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic circuits. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and fluid power mechanics typically install this type of fitting in industrial and mechanical systems.

This connector is appropriate for use in hydraulic lines, pneumatic circuits, and general fluid transfer systems where a barbed push-on hose connection must terminate at an NPT-threaded port. The 1/8-27 NPT male thread fits standard female NPT ports found on pumps, manifolds, cylinders, and valve bodies. The 11/16 inch cut-off allowance provides defined hose preparation guidance for a secure barb engagement. This fitting suits both residential and light commercial mechanical installations wherever brass construction is compatible with the fluid media and pressure requirements of the system.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch barb inside diameter for push-on hose attachment
• 1/8-27 NPT male threaded connection for standard NPT ports
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in compatible fluid applications
• Rated to 10,000 psi maximum working pressure
• 11/16 inch cut-off allowance for consistent hose preparation
• Compact 1.29 inch overall length with 7/16 inch hex for wrench access

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation barbed male connector for systems with 1/8-27 NPT female ports accepting a 1/4 inch inside diameter push-on hose.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, hydraulic technician, or qualified fluid power mechanic familiar with NPT threaded fittings and applicable system codes. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic or fluid circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT male threads per standard practice; do not over-tighten, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque. Ensure the hose barb engagement meets the system manufacturer's minimum insertion depth before the circuit is returned to service.
