Value Collection 2742 Reusable Hose Female Fitting 1/4 Nptf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2742 is a reusable hose female fitting designed for fluid transfer applications in plumbing and industrial hose assemblies. Threaded to a 1/4 NPTF standard, this fitting connects to hoses with a 3/8-inch outer diameter and is intended for field installation without the need for specialized crimping equipment. The reusable design allows the fitting to be disassembled and remounted on a replacement hose, reducing hardware costs on repeat service calls. Licensed plumbers and fluid-systems technicians are the primary installers.

This fitting is suited for use in low- to medium-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic hose assemblies, as well as general plumbing fluid transfer lines. The 1/4 NPTF thread provides a dry-seal mechanical connection, making it appropriate for applications where thread-sealant use must be minimized. It fits hoses with a 3/8-inch OD, and is sold in a package quantity of 5 units, supporting multi-point installations or service stock.

Key Features

• Reusable construction allows removal and reinstallation on replacement hose sections
• 1/4 NPTF dry-seal thread eliminates the need for additional thread sealant in many applications
• Fits 3/8-inch hose outer diameter
• Female thread configuration for standard hose-to-port connections

Compatibility

Designed for use with hoses featuring a 3/8-inch outer diameter and equipment ports threaded to the 1/4 NPTF standard. Confirm hose OD and port thread specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or fluid-systems technician familiar with NPTF dry-seal thread requirements. Shut off all system pressure and depressurize the hose assembly completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Inspect hose end for squareness and cleanliness before threading the fitting body onto the hose. Follow applicable IPC or system-specific guidelines for allowable working pressure and hose compatibility.
