Eaton 1069X6 Barbed Tube Fitting 1/4 in Thread

Product Description

The EATON 1069X6 is a barbed tube fitting designed for fluid and pneumatic line connections in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid-handling applications. It features a 1/4 inch thread size and accepts 3/8 inch outer diameter tubing. The barbed design creates a secure mechanical grip on flexible tubing without requiring additional ferrules or compression sleeves. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals working on low-pressure fluid transfer lines. At 0.23 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for tight installations where space is limited.

This barbed tube fitting is used in residential and light commercial fluid systems where flexible tubing must terminate or transition to a threaded port. Typical applications include condensate drain lines, equipment water supply lines, and low-pressure pneumatic circuits. It is appropriate for installations where a reliable, leak-resistant connection between flexible tubing and a threaded fitting port is required.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off fluid supply and relieve any system pressure before removing or installing fittings. Verify thread type and engagement depth before tightening to avoid cross-threading or over-torquing. Confirm tubing outer diameter matches the barb specification before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection.
