Eaton 10004B-B03 Barbed Hose Swivel Connector 1/4 in Brass

Product Description

The EATON 10004B-B03 is a barbed push-on hose inverted male swivel connector designed for secure, leak-resistant hose-to-fitting connections in hydraulic and fluid-transfer applications. Machined from brass, this connector features a 1/4 inch barb for push-on hose attachment and a 7/16-24 NPT inverted male swivel thread for in-line installation. At 1.73 inches in overall length with a 7/16 inch hex and a 1.125 inch cut-off allowance, it is sized for compact assemblies where clearance is limited. The swivel design allows hose orientation adjustment during assembly without twisting the hose body. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and fluid-system mechanics working on low-pressure fluid lines.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial fluid-transfer systems where a barbed push-on hose must terminate at a threaded inverted male port. The 7/16-24 NPT thread size is commonly found on hydraulic fittings, fuel line assemblies, and related fluid-handling equipment. The 1/4 inch inside diameter barb accommodates standard 1/4 inch ID push-on hose. The brass construction offers corrosion resistance in water, oil, and fuel service environments. This part ships individually and is intended as a direct replacement or new-installation component wherever this thread and barb combination is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or hydraulic technician familiar with fluid-line fittings and applicable codes. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Use an appropriately sized open-end or combination wrench on the 7/16 inch hex — do not over-torque brass fittings, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive force. Inspect the mating port threads and hose end for damage before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection.
