Parker 1695HB-8-8 Brass Elbow Hose Barb Fitting 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER 1695HB-8-8 is a brass elbow barbed hose fitting designed to connect a 1/2-inch inside diameter hose to a 3/4-16 SAE straight thread port. The elbow configuration redirects flow 90 degrees, making it useful in tight routing situations where a straight fitting will not clear surrounding components. Constructed from brass, this fitting is suited for hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, and fluid transfer lines found in HVAC equipment, mobile machinery, and industrial assemblies. The beaded hose barb design helps retain the hose under pressure and vibration without requiring a separate clamp in low-pressure applications, though a clamp is recommended for most service installations.

This fitting is a standard catalog item used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fluid power mechanics working on equipment that requires a transition from a threaded port to a hose barb connection. It is appropriate for systems where operating temperatures range from -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F. Common applications include refrigeration equipment plumbing, hydronic heating lines, fuel delivery circuits, and general-purpose fluid routing in residential and light commercial mechanical systems.

Key Features

• Elbow body routes hose 90 degrees from the threaded port for space-constrained installations
• Beaded hose barb at 0.4000 inches promotes positive hose retention under pressure
• 3/4-16 SAE straight thread end provides leak-resistant metal-to-metal seating
• Brass construction resists corrosion in fluid transfer and HVAC plumbing environments
• Rated for operating temperatures from -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F (71.1 degrees C)
• Compact profile: 1 inch length, 0.5 inch height, 0.5 inch width; 0.05 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for equipment using 3/4-16 SAE straight thread ports with 1/2-inch inside diameter hose barb connections. Verify thread standard and hose ID at the installation point before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or technician familiar with fluid system plumbing. Shut down and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any fitting. SAE straight thread fittings rely on an O-ring or soft seal at the boss face for leak-free assembly — inspect and replace the O-ring if one is required at the port. Secure the hose to the barb with an appropriately rated clamp for the application pressure and temperature.
