Gentec 24-0017 Hose Npt Barb Fitting 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The GENTEC 24-0017 is a hose NPT barb fitting designed for secure hose-to-pipe connections in plumbing and fluid-handling applications. This B-size barb fitting accepts a 1/4 inch nominal pipe thread connection and provides a reliable mechanical grip on compatible hose ends. Barb fittings of this type are standard components in low-pressure liquid and gas distribution lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and general trade contractors install these fittings when connecting flexible hose to threaded pipe ports in residential and light commercial systems.

The 24-0017 barb fitting is suited for use in plumbing supply lines, HVAC condensate and fluid-transfer lines, and general-purpose hose assembly work. The NPT thread profile makes it compatible with standard North American threaded pipe fittings. It is commonly used wherever a transition from rigid threaded pipe to flexible hose is required in a compact, low-profile connection point.

• 1/4 inch B-size hose barb for secure hose retention

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing any hose fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads per applicable IPC guidelines before making up the connection. Ensure the hose is fully seated past all barb ridges and secured with an appropriate hose clamp.
