Eaton 10004B-104 Barbed Male Hose Connector 1/4 Npt Brass

Product Description

The EATON 10004B-104 is a barbed push-on hose male connector designed for fluid and pneumatic line connections in trade and industrial applications. It features a 1/4-18 NPT male threaded end for secure engagement with standard pipe threads and a 1/4-inch barb end that accepts push-on hose without clamps. Constructed from brass, this fitting offers solid corrosion resistance in water, air, and compatible fluid service. It is rated to a maximum working pressure of 9500 psi, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic and high-pressure pneumatic systems. The compact body measures 1.52 inches in length with a 9/16-inch hex for wrench engagement.

This connector is used wherever a threaded port must transition to a barbed hose connection. Typical applications include hydraulic lines, pneumatic circuits, cooling systems, and fluid transfer assemblies in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment. The NPT thread standard makes it compatible with standard North American pipe fittings. The 1/4-inch inside diameter accommodates hose sized to match the 0.250-inch bore. A 7/8-inch cut-off allowance is included for proper installation depth when seating the hose.
