Newage Industries 5001255 Barbed Hose Union 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The NEWAGE INDUSTRIES 5001255 is a barbed tube hose union designed to join two sections of flexible tubing in fluid-handling systems. Built from nylon in a natural color finish, this union accepts 1/4 inch inner diameter tubing on both ends and holds a secure barbed connection without tools or clamps in many low-pressure applications. It carries FDA approval and meets NSF-51 and NSF-61 certifications, making it appropriate for potable water and food-contact service lines. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance personnel install this fitting in applications where a reliable, reusable tube junction is needed.

This union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, food service equipment, water treatment systems, and similar fluid-distribution lines where 1/4 inch flexible tubing is used. The NSF-61 certification qualifies it for potable water contact, while NSF-51 covers food equipment use. Its nylon construction resists corrosion and is compatible with a range of non-aggressive fluids. Sold in a package quantity of 10, it is practical for service vehicles and shop stock.
