Eaton 10004B-Y04 Brass Barbed Hose Mender 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The EATON 10004B-Y04 is a brass barbed push-on hose mender designed to repair or join sections of flexible hose in fluid handling and pneumatic systems. It features a 1/4 inch barb size with a 0.25 inch inside diameter, allowing a secure friction fit into compatible hose ends without requiring clamps on low-pressure applications. At 1.76 inches in length with a 1/2 inch hex for wrench access and a 1/2 inch cut-off allowance, this fitting is compact and straightforward to work with. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades commonly install this type of fitting when restoring hose runs in tight spaces.

This hose mender is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a quick, reliable hose-to-hose connection is needed. Typical install scenarios include repair of tubing runs in HVAC equipment, plumbing supply lines, and fluid transfer assemblies. The barbed push-on design seats directly into hose inner diameters matching the 1/4 inch barb, making it a practical solution for field repairs and service calls where downtime needs to be minimized.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or maintenance mechanics. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing fitting or cutting hose. Use a sharp hose cutter for a clean, square cut to ensure full barb engagement and a leak-free seal. Verify hose inner diameter matches the 1/4 inch barb before assembly; forcing an oversized barb can split the hose.
