The Allied 12-90-1006 is a precision-machined adapter for medical gas and vacuum distribution. It features a 1/8" NPT male thread transitioning to a 5/16" hose barb, providing a secure interface between rigid equipment ports and larger flexible clinical tubing. The chrome-plated brass construction ensures maximum durability and clinical hygiene, while the tapered barb design creates a reliable friction seal for consistent pressure or suction delivery.
