Parker 22-5/32 Barbed Tube Union 5/32 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 22-5/32 is a barbed tube union designed for joining two lengths of flexible tubing in low-pressure fluid or pneumatic line applications. Built from brass, this multi-barb union accepts tubing with a 5/32 inch outer diameter and a 0.096 inch inner diameter on each end. The barbed design creates a secure mechanical grip on the tubing without the need for threaded connections or additional fittings. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-systems technicians use unions like this when a permanent or semi-permanent inline connection is required in a tubing run.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where flexible tubing is routed through tight spaces or equipment enclosures. Typical install scenarios include condensate drain lines, low-pressure air or fluid sampling lines, and secondary refrigerant or chemical feed tubing. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet or humid service environments commonly encountered in HVAC and plumbing systems.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• Accepts 5/32 inch OD tubing with 0.096 inch ID on both ends
• Multi-barb profile provides mechanical grip without clamps in many low-pressure applications
• Inline union configuration allows straight-through joining of two tubing segments
• Compact, lightweight design at 0.01 pounds for use in space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with flexible tubing having a 5/32 inch outer diameter and a 0.096 inch inner diameter. Verify tubing material and working pressure rating before installation to confirm suitability for the intended service.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified fluid-systems technicians. Before servicing any line, shut off flow and relieve pressure in the tubing circuit. Push tubing firmly over each barbed end until fully seated; a hose clamp may be added for applications with elevated pressure or vibration. Refer to applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC for approved tubing materials and pressure ratings in the specific service environment.
