Value Collection 2750002040 Barbed Hose Fitting 1/4 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2750002040 is a brass male connector barbed hose fitting designed to join a 3/8 inch inside diameter hose to a 1/4 inch male NPT threaded port. Brass construction provides reliable corrosion resistance in water, air, and light fluid transfer applications. The barbed end grips the hose ID securely to maintain a leak-resistant seal under typical line pressures. This fitting is sold in a package of 5 and is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, irrigation contractors, and general maintenance trades on equipment requiring a hose-to-pipe transition at a 1/4 inch NPT connection point.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a flexible hose must terminate at a threaded male NPT port. Common install scenarios include condensate drain lines, water supply connections, pneumatic tool lines, and equipment cooling circuits. The 3/8 inch hose barb accommodates standard 3/8 inch ID flexible hose, and the 1/4 inch NPT male thread conforms to standard tapered thread pipe fittings found on pumps, valves, manifolds, and equipment ports throughout HVAC and plumbing systems.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in water, air, and light fluid service
• 1/4 inch male NPT tapered thread for leak-resistant pipe thread connections
• 3/8 inch ID hose barb end retains flexible hose without additional clamps in low-pressure applications
• Hose barb x male NPT end configuration for direct hose-to-port transitions
• Sold in a pack of 5 to support multi-point installations or service stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for any system requiring a 1/4 inch male NPT to 3/8 inch ID hose barb transition in brass.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the air or fluid line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to the male NPT threads per IPC and IFGC guidelines before threading into the receiving port. Secure the hose over the barb and use an appropriately sized clamp for pressurized or high-vibration service.
