Loc-Line 21192 Male NPT Valve for 1/4″ System – Pack of 2
About This Product
The Loc-Line 21192 Male NPT Valve for 1/4″ ID System is a compact, adjustable flow-control valve designed for use with Loc-Line’s 1/4-inch modular hose system. Featuring a 1/4-inch male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded connection and a compatible Loc-Line modular connection, this versatile valve allows users to regulate or shut off liquid flow directly at the supply connection.
Manufactured by Lockwood Products, Inc., the Loc-Line 21192 provides a convenient way to connect modular hose assemblies to compatible female NPT-threaded supply lines while maintaining independent control over the flow.
One of the primary advantages of Loc-Line’s modular system is its flexibility. Individual hose segments, fittings, and nozzles can be connected to create adjustable fluid delivery systems tailored to specific applications. The 21192 valve adds flow regulation to these assemblies, allowing users to control the amount of liquid delivered without adjusting the entire supply system.
The valve’s manually operated design allows it to be fully opened, partially opened, or closed, making it useful for applications requiring adjustable delivery rates. Users can reduce the flow for delicate operations, increase it when greater circulation is needed, or shut off an individual line during maintenance.
Constructed from durable acetal plastic, the valve offers excellent resistance to water, corrosion, and a variety of industrial fluids. Its lightweight construction makes it suitable for modular hose assemblies where excessive fitting weight is undesirable.
The distinctive blue-and-orange Loc-Line design makes the valve easy to identify within a modular hose system. Its compact dimensions allow installation in confined spaces where larger conventional valves may be impractical.
Although Loc-Line components are commonly associated with machine-tool coolant delivery, the 21192 valve can also be useful in compatible water-distribution, laboratory, workshop, and custom fluid-handling applications when the operating conditions and materials are appropriate.
For aquarium and pond projects, the valve may be considered for compatible above-water plumbing applications, provided the complete system is evaluated for pressure, chemical compatibility, and suitability around aquatic livestock. The manufacturer does not specifically certify this part for aquarium or potable-water use.
Each package contains two Loc-Line 21192 Male NPT Valves, providing convenient components for dual-line installations, equipment maintenance, or future system expansion.
Whether you’re building a modular coolant delivery assembly, replacing an existing flow-control valve, or designing a custom fluid distribution system, the Loc-Line 21192 offers dependable manual adjustment in a compact, modular format.
Features:
- Adjustable flow-control valve allows users to regulate liquid delivery through compatible 1/4-inch Loc-Line hose assemblies.
- 1/4-inch male NPT connection installs into a compatible female NPT-threaded fitting or supply line.

Key Benefits
Precise Manual Flow Adjustment
The Loc-Line 21192 allows users to adjust the flow through an individual modular hose connection.
This is particularly helpful when a single fluid supply supports several outlets that require different flow rates.
Instead of adjusting the main supply, individual valves can provide localized control.
Convenient Male NPT Connection
The integrated 1/4-inch male NPT thread allows the valve to connect directly to a compatible female-threaded supply fitting.
This simplifies the connection between conventional threaded plumbing and Loc-Line’s adjustable modular hose components.
Modular System Flexibility
Loc-Line hose elements can be assembled into customized arrangements to direct fluid toward specific locations.
The 21192 valve works as a supply-side control component within the compatible 1/4-inch system.
Durable Acetal Construction
Acetal is an engineering plastic known for dimensional stability, mechanical strength, and resistance to many common fluids.
Its corrosion-resistant properties make it useful in compatible applications involving water and industrial coolant.
Chemical resistance should always be checked for the specific fluid and operating conditions.
Convenient Two-Pack
Two valves are included in each package, making this product suitable for installations with multiple outlet lines or for keeping a replacement valve available.
Recommended Applications
Machine-Tool Coolant Systems
Install the valve in compatible coolant delivery lines to regulate fluid flow toward cutting tools, workpieces, and machining areas.
The valve can be used with suitable Loc-Line nozzles and hose segments to direct coolant where needed.
