Loc-Line Coolant Hose Component, Acetal Copolymer, Connector, 1/4" Hose ID, 1/8" NPT (Pack of 4) - 41405, Orange

After watching Adam Savage make his new workbench light, I wanted to make a similar phone holder/charger for my bedside. This threaded fitting works great for screwing into iron pipe fittings, so the arm is very solid!

Great Loc-Line quality that I always expect. Works great, but the photo is the wrong color. The ones I received are the standard orange, but are mechanically identical.

I used this in a "helping hands" project. This connector was screwed into a drilled and tapped cutting board, about 15" of loc-line snapped on, and a small alligator clip attached to the other end. I currently have five "helping hands" coming out of the same  small cutting board . The cutting board was drilled and then tapped with  this 1/4 inch to 18 NPT tap .For my use, the cheap knockoffs work pretty well too, but I haven't peel hot glue off the yet or hit them with a soldering iron.. The loc-line brand is tough quality stuff though that that I have dripped hot glue onto, have dripped solder onto, and have bumped with the hot end of a soldering iron. The loc-line stuff is still fine.

Worked great in my stainless steal parts washer. Don’t forget the pliers.

Use these on several Fadal CNC machining centers for coolant delivery and they fit like a glove. Now I have some extra on hand just Incase one gets broken off again.

So like an idiot, I didn't read the whole description and didn't realize the threads on this were 1/8" NPT instead of 1/4" NPT. I skimmed the title and saw 1/4" and NPT and assumed I had the right part. Fortunately for what I was using this for, this isn't a big deal and I just got an adapter at my local home improvement store and it worked quite well.

Works as expected

Exactly what I was looking for.

good quality and price
