Tru-flate 21-123 Brass Hose End 1/4 in Barb X 1/4 in Mnpt

Product Description

The TRU-FLATE 21-123 is a brass hose end fitting designed to connect flexible hose to threaded pipe or equipment ports. It features a 1/4 inch barb on one end and a 1/4 inch male NPT (MNPT) thread on the other. The all-brass construction resists rust and corrosion, making it suitable for air, water, and general fluid service applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors use this type of fitting where a permanent or semi-permanent hose-to-pipe transition is needed. The barb end is secured with a hose clamp or ferrule for a reliable, leak-resistant connection.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic systems wherever 1/4 inch flexible hose must terminate at a 1/4 inch male NPT connection. Typical applications include air line assemblies, water supply transitions, and equipment hookups requiring a barbed hose end. It is sold as a single fitting per card and is packaged with a minimum quantity of 6 units per order.
