It features a 1\/4 inch NPTF male threaded end that seals directly into a female-threaded port, combined with a barbed hose end sized for 3\/8 inch outer diameter tubing with a 0.19 inch inner diameter. Constructed from brass, this fitting provides reliable corrosion resistance and durability in both wet and dry service environments. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this type of fitting where a secure tube-to-pipe transition is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications including refrigerant drain lines, condensate tubing, pneumatic control lines, and general-purpose fluid transfer. It is typically installed where flexible tubing must terminate into a rigid threaded port on equipment such as condensate pans, air handlers, or low-pressure pneumatic systems. The barbed design holds tubing securely with a clamp or without, depending on the pressure requirements of the application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch NPTF male thread for positive seal in female-threaded ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarbed end accepts 3\/8 inch OD tubing with 0.19 inch ID\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in wet service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact single-piece fitting requiring no additional ferrules or sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.047 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard OEM-style barbed tube male connector compatible with flexible tubing systems requiring a 1\/4 inch NPTF male thread connection and 3\/8 inch OD barbed tubing interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the relevant fluid or air supply before making or breaking any fitting connections. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the NPTF threads as required by local plumbing codes before threading into the receiving port. Secure flexible tubing onto the barb with an appropriate clamp when operating at elevated pressures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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 Inner Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outer Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\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: 0.047 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 1068X6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EATON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541402222898,"sku":"1068X6","price":16.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7035038744eb1b05e98b149ea47e0ce2.jpg?v=1785874949","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eaton-1068x6-barbed-tube-male-connector-1-4-in-nptf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
