Description

1/4-Inch PT Female Plug with Barbed Hose Tail, Zinc-Plated Steel

Brief Overview

This 1/4-inch PT female plug is a straightforward, no-frills hose connector designed for secure, leak-free connections in pneumatic and low-pressure fluid systems. The barbed tail grips hose without requiring clamps, while the internal female threads accept standard 1/4-inch PT male fittings. Zinc-plated steel construction ensures corrosion resistance in workshop and field environments. If you're building modular pneumatic circuits, consider pairing this with a matching male coupling or compatible quick-disconnect adapter for versatile system configurations.

Key Features

  • Barbed Hose Tail: Two prominent annular barb rings with tapered lead-in for positive hose retention without additional clamps
  • 1/4-Inch PT Female Thread: Standard internal threads accept male PT connectors
  • Hexagonal Nut Design: Six flat faces provide secure grip for wrenching; chamfered edges for durability
  • Zinc-Plated Steel: Corrosion-resistant finish suitable for compressed air, water, and light hydraulic applications
  • Smooth Bore: Clear internal passage minimizes flow restriction
  • Compact Design: Direct barb-to-nut layout saves space in tight manifold installations

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High-Volume Demand: Barbed connectors are consumable replacements in pneumatic shops; customers repeatedly repurchase when hose gets damaged or replaced
  • Stackable Inventory: Small footprint allows deep stock without warehouse burden
  • Wide Application Range: Compatible with standard 1/4-inch PT systems across automotive, manufacturing, and compressed air distribution
  • Competitive Margin: Low material cost per unit with consistent turnover
  • Cross-Sell Opportunity: Naturally pairs with hose, clamps, and quick-disconnect couplings
