Parker 701000 Barbed Hose Fitting 1/4 in Brass Connector

Product Description

The PARKER 701000 is a brass barbed hose fitting designed to connect a 1/4 inch ID hose to a 1/4 inch female NPSM threaded port. The barbed end seats into flexible hose for a secure, leak-resistant grip, while the female pipe thread end connects to a mating male fitting or port. With a working temperature range of -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F, this fitting handles a wide range of fluid transfer and pneumatic applications. The brass construction resists corrosion and is well suited for use with water, air, and many common hydraulic fluids. HVAC techs, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals all work with fittings in this class.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC equipment, fluid transfer lines, and pneumatic systems where a barb-to-female-pipe transition is needed. The 1/4 inch barb seats into 1/4 inch ID flexible hose, and the female NPSM thread mates to a standard male pipe fitting. Typical install scenarios include condensate drain lines, low-pressure air lines, and water supply connections on equipment. Sold in a package of 5 units.

Key Features

• Barb-to-female-pipe connection style transitions 1/4 inch ID hose to a threaded port in a single fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for equipment requiring a 1/4 inch ID hose barb to 1/4 inch female NPSM threaded connector in brass construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified maintenance professionals. Shut off fluid or air pressure to the line before removing or installing any fitting. Seat the barb fully into the hose and secure with an appropriate hose clamp rated for the application pressure. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male mating fitting per IPC or manufacturer guidelines before threading the female NPSM end.
