256088 - Brass Barbed Fitting, 3/16 Inch Tubing x 1/8 Inch NPT Male

Genuine Miller OEM Brass Fitting for Industrial Maintenance

The Miller 256088 is a high-quality brass barbed fitting designed to facilitate secure connections within welding equipment and industrial machinery. As a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component, this fitting is engineered to meet the exact specifications required by Miller Electric power sources and auxiliary equipment. It serves as a critical interface between flexible tubing and rigid threaded ports, ensuring the reliable transfer of shielding gases or cooling fluids essential for welding operations.

Constructed from solid brass, this fitting offers superior durability compared to plastic alternatives. Brass is naturally resistant to corrosion, making it an ideal choice for environments where moisture or condensation may be present. The material also withstands the thermal cycling and vibration often encountered inside operating welding machines. The fitting features a 3/16-inch barbed end designed to insert tightly into flexible hoses, creating a friction seal that can be further secured with a hose clamp. The opposite end utilizes a 1/8-inch National Pipe Taper (NPT) male thread, a standard in industrial plumbing that creates a pressure-tight seal when mated with a corresponding female port.

Maintenance professionals rely on the Miller 256088 for its precision and reliability. Using non-OEM fittings can sometimes lead to thread mismatching or poor sealing, resulting in gas leaks that compromise weld quality or coolant leaks that can damage sensitive electronics. By choosing this authentic Miller part, technicians ensure that the repair restores the machine to its factory operating standards. Whether replacing a damaged connector or performing a system overhaul, this brass barbed fitting provides the assurance of quality and fitment that professional repair operations demand.

This component is typically sold individually and is ready for immediate installation. It is compatible with a variety of Miller machines; however, users are encouraged to verify fitment using their machine's serial number to ensure this specific configuration of barb and thread size matches their equipment's requirements.
