St. 1/4 Id Hose > 1/8 Np

The straight 1/4 inch ID hose to 1/8 NPT adapter (part number 984004ERL) is a compact pneumatic and hydraulic fitting engineered to connect flexible hose lines to threaded ports in tactical equipment, tool systems, and fluid transfer applications. Constructed from aluminum with blue anodized finish, this adapter provides corrosion resistance and reliable pressure-rated performance in demanding field environments where pneumatic or low-pressure hydraulic connections are required.

The hose barb design on the 1/4 inch ID side creates a secure mechanical grip when inserted into flexible tubing, while the 1/8 inch NPT (national pipe thread) male port accepts standard threaded connections commonly found on compressors, regulators, solenoids, and pressure vessels. Aluminum construction balances weight savings with structural integrity—critical for portable equipment and mobile platforms. The blue anodized finish resists oxidation in humid or salt-air environments better than bare aluminum, extending service life in outdoor tactical or maritime operations without sacrificing visibility or identification during equipment checks.

This fitting serves technicians, equipment operators, and field personnel who assemble or maintain pneumatic systems, air-powered tools, or modular pressure-delivery rigs. It solves the common problem of mismatched port sizes—allowing users to step down from larger NPT threads to smaller-diameter hoses without additional couplers. Each unit ships individually, making it suitable for repair kits, spare parts stockpiles, or single-point repairs on remote assignments or training ranges where rapid component replacement is necessary.
