Threaded fitting?

[tom in nc]

Is there such a thing,at hardware or auto parts stores as a fitting that will thread into the hole for the nipple, usually 1/4 x 28, that a piece of hose will fit onto and stay on better than it will on a nipple. For cleaning full stock guns with pinned on barrels. Do I need to turn down and rethread a 1/8 pipe to hose fittings?
Or is there a hose, surgical tubing maybe, that will stay on a nipple?

Chainsaw/weed eater fuel line might work on the nipple itself. I know of no such fitting that you're asking, all the barb types are either NPT or tube nut thread.

Take a 14-28 screw.

Cut the head off.

Drill a hole lengthwise through the screw.

Grind down the diameter to accept any size hose you stumble across.


PS: There is no reason to flush/flood a barrel. Just swab it out and be done with it. No need to drown it. Daniel Boone didn't have access to ACE Hardware and vinyl hose from a fish tank. Or TOTW stainless steel fittings with O-Rings.

Flush kits are available. Come with the right fitting and a hose:

If you want a DIY solution, drill out an old worn nipple. Super glue some tubing to it. But, off the shelf kits are like $6...

Would it look like this?

See others beat me to it. The things actually work.

Your on the right track,
just take an old nipple ya got, and drill that hole out big, as big a bit you can get down that hole.
then go to the auto store and get a chunk of hose that fit's tight,, it works.
Or, but the kit they sell that does the same thing,,
