Eaton 1062X6 Barbed Tube Union 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The EATON 1062X6 is a barbed tube union fitting designed to join two lengths of flexible tubing in a single inline connection. The barbed design creates a secure mechanical grip on the tubing without the need for threaded tools or compression hardware. Sized for 3/8-inch tube outside diameter, this union is suited for low-pressure fluid and pneumatic line repairs, extensions, and routing tasks. Installation is straightforward and does not require special tooling, making it a practical stock item for HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever flexible tubing requires a mid-run union. Common install scenarios include condensate drain line repairs, refrigeration equipment tubing runs, and pneumatic control line connections. Its compact size and barbed geometry allow it to be inserted directly into standard flexible tubing without additional fittings or adapters.

Key Features

• Barbed union design provides secure grip on flexible tubing without clamps or tools
• Sized for 3/8-inch tube outside diameter on both ends

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement union fitting for flexible tubing systems with a 3/8-inch outside diameter in HVAC, plumbing, and light pneumatic applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or mechanical contractors working on low-pressure tubing systems. Power down and depressurize the system before cutting into any active line. Insert each barbed end fully into the tubing until the barbs seat past the tubing wall for a secure connection. Refer to applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines for maximum pressure ratings before use.
