Parker 229-5/32-2 Barbed Male Elbow 5/32 in 1/8-27

Product Description

The PARKER 229-5/32-2 is a barbed tube male elbow fitting designed to connect flexible tubing to a male-threaded port at a 90-degree angle. It accepts tubing with a 5/32-inch outer diameter and a 0.096-inch inner diameter, and threads into a 1/8-27 male port. Constructed from brass, it provides reliable corrosion resistance in pneumatic, fluid transfer, and low-pressure hydraulic lines. This fitting is a standard component used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals when routing small-diameter tubing through tight spaces or direction changes.

This male elbow fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where flexible tubing must transition from a threaded port to a barbed connection. Typical install scenarios include condensate drain lines, pneumatic control tubing, instrument air lines, and OEM equipment assemblies. The barbed design grips tubing securely without additional tooling, making it practical for both field service and bench assembly work.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry allows direction changes in tight or confined plumbing runs
• Barbed end secures flexible tubing without separate fittings or ferrules
• Brass construction resists corrosion in wet and humid service environments
• 1/8-27 male thread provides a standard connection to common threaded ports
• Compact, lightweight design at 0.03 pounds suits space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems using 5/32-inch OD flexible tubing with 1/8-27 threaded ports, typical of small pneumatic, HVAC control, and fluid transfer assemblies.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by HVAC technicians or plumbers working on low-pressure pneumatic or fluid lines. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before installation and tighten to snug-plus-hand-tight using an appropriately sized wrench — do not overtighten brass fittings into soft or cast ports. Ensure tubing is fully seated past the barb and secured with a clamp or tie where the application requires a leak-free connection.
