These Elbow Thru-Panel Adapter fittings are 1/4-18 NPSM (National Pipe Straight Male) in the middle to fit with the included 1/4-18 NPSF Hex Nut, and 1/4" OD Hose-Barb on each end to fit with 1/4" ID hose or tubing. The 1/4-18 NPSM will fit through about a 1/2" bore hole, to sit up with the flange, and be secured with the Hex Nut on the other side. The fitting is made from Natural Kynar (PVDF) Material. Hex Nut is made of Natural Nylon. Please Note: Hex Nut is not available in Kynar material.

These are multi-purpose fittings and may possibly be used for Automotive, Boat (Marine), Hydroponic, Irrigation, Pneumatic, Agriculture, and Aquarium applications.

Add a Custom Washer: available in Red Silicone or Nitrile (Buna-N). Custom-designed to fit over 1/4-18 NPSM of our Thru-Panel Fittings. See material properties below.
