Barrow G1/4" Thread 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD 360 Degree Rotary Compression Fitting - Black (TXKN-3/8)

The Barrow TXKN-3/8 is a straight compression fitting for 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD (10/13 mm) soft tubing with a G1/4" male thread that turns through a full 360°. The rotary base lets the tube leave the fitting at any angle without twisting it, even after the fitting is screwed in tight. It is machined from H59 brass and finished in black.

No more twisted tubing

A normal compression fitting is fixed once it is screwed in, so the tube has to twist to follow the run. On this fitting the knurled base turns against the body through 360°, so the tube can be routed first and the fitting follows it.

Compression nut for soft tubing

Push the 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD tube over the barb and screw the knurled compression nut down over it to lock the tube in place.

Brass with a double-protected finish

Barrow uses H59 brass for the body and protects the surface with what it calls a double electroplating process, which it says gives a fine texture that is solid and durable.

Standard G1/4" connections

The male end uses the standard G1/4" thread of PC water cooling, so the fitting works with blocks, radiators, reservoirs and fittings from other makers as well as Barrow's own. It is sealed by an O-ring.
