R769212-166 Hose Barb Male Couplers

The R769212-166 takes a different mounting approach from the threaded and knurled options in the range, using a hose barb design that pushes directly into flexible tubing on 1/4-inch hose applications.

Its brass barb is shaped with ridges that grip the inside of the hose once it's slid into place, and combined with a hose clamp, forms a secure seal without needing threads cut into the tubing itself.

This style is common for shops building or repairing air lines from raw hose stock, giving them a quick-connect male fitting that can be attached to virtually any compatible hose length without requiring pre-threaded ends.
