Multiplex 861317 Barb Splicer 1/4 X 1/2 Inch Stainless Steel

Product Description

The MULTIPLEX 861317 is a barb splicer fitting designed to join two sections of tubing with differing diameters in commercial appliance fluid or beverage dispensing systems. The fitting connects a 1/4-inch barb on one end to a 1/2-inch barb on the other, allowing a direct inline transition without additional adapters. Constructed from stainless steel, it resists corrosion and holds up in wet or high-sanitation environments typical of commercial foodservice equipment. This type of fitting is a standard service component for technicians maintaining or repairing commercial beverage, ice, or post-mix dispensing equipment.

This splicer fitting is used in commercial appliance plumbing circuits where tubing of two different sizes must be connected inline. It is well-suited for foodservice environments where stainless steel construction is required for sanitation compliance. Typical installations include beverage dispensing towers, post-mix carbonated drink systems, and other commercial appliance fluid circuits. Service technicians working on MULTIPLEX commercial equipment will find this a direct OEM-sourced replacement component.

Key Features

• Reduces or transitions between 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch barbed tubing connections in a single inline fitting
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and sanitation-critical environments

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified service technician familiar with commercial beverage or refrigeration plumbing systems. Shut off the water or CO2 supply and depressurize the line before disconnecting any existing fittings. Ensure tubing is fully seated past the barb retaining rings on both ends and secure with appropriate clamps per the equipment manufacturer guidelines. Follow all applicable local plumbing and food equipment codes during service.
