It features a 1\/4-inch NPTF male thread on one end and a barbed fitting on the other, sized for tubing with a 0.12-inch inside diameter and a 1\/4-inch outside diameter. Constructed from brass, it offers solid corrosion resistance and durability in both liquid and low-pressure air applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid system specialists install this type of fitting where a rigid-to-flexible tubing transition is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC drain and condensate lines, refrigeration tubing assemblies, and general fluid transfer systems that use flexible tubing in the applicable ID and OD range. Its NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal when properly installed, making it appropriate for systems where thread sealant or PTFE tape is used on male threads. The compact form factor fits into tight equipment compartments common in packaged HVAC units and appliance installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch NPTF male thread for pressure-tight connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBarbed end accepts tubing with 0.12-inch inside diameter and 1\/4-inch outside diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact single-piece design with no moving parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually — minimum order quantity of one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems using 1\/4-inch OD flexible tubing with a 0.12-inch inside diameter and 1\/4-inch NPTF male threaded ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off system pressure and drain any fluid before removing existing fittings. Apply PTFE tape or an appropriate thread sealant to the NPTF male threads before assembly. Secure the barbed end with an appropriate clamp for the tubing type to ensure a leak-free connection; do not overtighten the threaded end, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Barbed Tube Male Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Inside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: EATON\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1068X4X4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EATON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540812431666,"sku":"1068X4X4","price":18.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/91cf82666f0ead69593391580dee4cb7.jpg?v=1785864269","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eaton-1068x4x4-barbed-tube-male-connector-1-4-in-nptf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
