Parker 229-4-1 Barbed Tube Male Elbow 1/16-27

Product Description

The PARKER 229-4-1 is a barbed tube male elbow fitting designed for low-pressure fluid and pneumatic tubing connections in tight or angled routing applications. Constructed from brass, this fitting combines a male threaded end sized at 1/16-27 with a barbed tube end that accepts tubing with an inside diameter of 0.17 inches and an outside diameter of 0.25 inches. The 90-degree elbow geometry allows a direction change at the connection point without bending or stressing the tubing. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-system assemblers use this type of fitting when routing flexible tubing into threaded ports on valves, manifolds, or equipment housings.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a flexible tubing run must terminate at a male-threaded port. Typical installations include instrument lines, drain connections, control tubing, and low-pressure fluid transfer lines. The barbed design provides a secure mechanical grip on the tubing, and the brass construction resists corrosion in wet or humid environments. It is packaged and sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Male elbow configuration allows 90-degree direction change at the threaded port
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in wet or humid service environments
• 1/16-27 male thread for direct engagement with standard small-port fittings and manifolds
• Barbed end grips flexible tubing with 0.17-inch inside diameter securely without additional clamps
• Compact design suited for tight-clearance instrument and control-line routing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for flexible tubing systems requiring a 1/16-27 male threaded port connection and a barbed tube end accepting 0.17-inch inside diameter tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or fluid-system technicians. Depressurize and isolate the fluid or pneumatic circuit before removing or installing any fittings. Thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate to the service fluid should be applied to the male threads per standard practice. Push the barbed end fully into the tubing and verify a secure grip before returning the system to service.
