5/16" Barb to 1/4" MNPT Brass Elbow
This brass 90° elbow joins a 5/16 inch hose barb to a 1/4 inch male NPT thread. It is built for compressed-air or vacuum lines up to 250 psi. The fitting is new, reusable and ships directly from the supplier.
Installation notes and common issues
Screw the MNPT end into a matching female port with thread sealant, then push the hose onto the barb and secure it with a clamp. The barb lacks a knurl, so a clamp is essential to prevent the hose from blowing off under pressure. Over-tightening the brass threads can strip them.
Compatibility checks before ordering
Verify that your hose has a 5/16 inch inner diameter and that the mating port accepts a 1/4 inch male NPT thread. Confirm the system pressure does not exceed 250 psi. The fitting contains a chemical listed under California Proposition 65, so check local regulations if applicable.
