Parker 701002 Barbed Hose Fitting 1/4 in Female Npsm Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 701002 is a brass barbed hose fitting connector designed to join a 3/8 inch ID hose to a 1/4 inch female NPSM threaded port. The barbed end locks into flexible hose to resist pull-out under pressure and vibration, while the threaded end connects to standard female pipe threads. With an overall length of 1.63 inches and a hex head measuring 0.625 inches across, the fitting installs cleanly with standard hand tools. Rated for continuous service from -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F, this fitting suits a wide range of fluid-transfer applications in HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial systems where a reliable hose-to-pipe transition is required.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial applications where flexible hose must terminate at a threaded female pipe connection. Common install scenarios include condensate drain lines, coolant circuits, low-pressure fluid transfer lines, and equipment service connections. The brass construction resists corrosion in water and many common refrigerant-system fluids. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors typically specify this fitting when routing hose to a fixed threaded port on equipment, manifolds, or valves.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and fluid-transfer service
• Barb-to-female pipe end configuration transitions 3/8 inch ID hose to 1/4 inch female NPSM thread
• Barb diameter of 0.415 inches provides secure hose retention without a clamp in low-pressure service
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F continuous service
• Hex head size of 0.625 inches accepts standard open-end or combination wrenches
• Compact overall length of 1.63 inches fits tight plumbing spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems using 3/8 inch ID flexible hose terminated to a 1/4 inch female NPSM threaded port in HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial fluid-transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off fluid flow and relieve any system pressure before removing or installing hose fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads being engaged, following the fitting manufacturer and applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Do not overtighten the threaded connection; use the hex head and a properly sized wrench to seat the fitting without stressing the mating port.
