Their 1\/4 NPT threads have the Whitworth thread form, designed to provide a pressure-tight fit through the mating of the threads. Accomplished by cutting the threads on a taper, this assures that the male thread can only screw into the companion female thread a certain distance before it jams. The standard specifies this distance as a length based on hand-tight engagement; a convenient rule-of-thumb for plastic threads is finger-tight plus 1\/2 to 1 turn with a wrench. Do not over-tighten plastic threads – stress on the fitting can result in its failure.Our Single Barb Fittings Features and Clamp Dynamics. The threads are molded in precision-ground cavities resulting in perfectly matched threads at the parting line. This produces the cleanest, most accurate molded thread possible.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy our fittings are better.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur single-barbed fittings are designed so the mold parting line stops at the base of the barb. The ridge and the barb's conical surface are free of the molded-in leak path present in multiple barb fittings. The conical surface on an Eldon James fitting is glass-like and smooth allowing excellent sealing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe straight barb shaft provides space for the hose to relax behind the barb causing the clamp to work like a drawstring. This forces the hose diameter to become smaller than the flare of the fitting's barb. If the tubing swells from internal pressure (near burst), the clamp will be pulled up tight to the back of the barb and a tight seal will be maintained.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"table7\" style=\"width: 1189px;\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- MSTableType=layout --\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 218.183px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003eSingle Barb Fitting\u003cbr\u003e( Eldon James Fitting)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 402.283px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/9688\/6743\/files\/eldon-james-fitting.jpg?v=1733280566\" width=\"390\" height=\"202\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 10px;\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 410.183px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/9688\/6743\/files\/eldon-james-typical.jpg?v=1733280566\" width=\"402\" height=\"200\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 147.05px;\" height=\"106\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003eOther\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003eBarb Fitting\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 620.617px;\" colspan=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamp placement on a single barb fitting.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClamp positioning in the recess behind the barb allows for tubing compression anterior to the barb and results in a secure seal with without excessive clamp pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 10px;\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 557.3px;\" colspan=\"2\" height=\"84\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamp placement on a Multiple barb fitting. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClamp can only be placed over barb.
