Newage Industries 5003530 Barbed Tube Elbow 1/4 Barb 3/8 Npt

Product Description

The NEWAGE INDUSTRIES 5003530 is a barbed tube elbow fitting designed to connect flexible tubing to threaded pipe systems at a 90-degree angle. The fitting features a 1/4 inch barb size for securing flexible tubing and a 3/8 inch male NPT threaded end for connection to standard pipe fittings. Constructed from nylon in a natural color, this elbow is rated for use in food-contact and potable water applications, carrying both FDA approval and NSF-51 and NSF-61 certifications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and water treatment specialists rely on this type of fitting for low-pressure fluid handling and tubing routing in tight spaces.

This elbow fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, drinking water filtration systems, food and beverage equipment, and fluid transfer lines where a directional change is required. The male NPT thread allows direct connection to standard female-threaded ports or pipe fittings. The barbed end accepts 1/4 inch inner diameter flexible tubing, making it compatible with common polyethylene, PVC, or nylon tubing used in water supply and treatment systems. Sold in a package quantity of 10, this fitting is practical for service technicians stocking parts for multiple installs or repairs.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or qualified service technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male NPT threads before assembly per standard plumbing practice and applicable IPC guidelines. Push flexible tubing firmly over the barb to ensure a secure, leak-free connection; a clamp may be used for added retention depending on system pressure requirements.
