Parker 229-6-2 Barbed Tube Male Elbow 1/8-27 Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 229-6-2 is a barbed tube male elbow fitting designed to connect flexible tubing to a male-threaded port at a 90-degree angle. Constructed from brass, this fitting accepts tubing with an inside diameter of 0.25 inches and uses a 1/8-27 male thread on the port end. The barbed end grips the tubing inner wall to maintain a secure, leak-resistant seal without additional hardware. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-system installers use this type of fitting where a directional change is needed between a threaded component and flexible hose or tubing in low-pressure fluid or pneumatic lines.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where flexible tubing must transition to a fixed threaded port. Typical install scenarios include condensate drain lines, pneumatic control tubing, fuel lines, and small-bore fluid transfer systems. The 1/8-27 thread size is a standard pipe thread found on a wide range of valves, manifolds, pumps, and instrumentation ports across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment.

Key Features

• 90-degree male elbow configuration for directional routing of flexible tubing
• Barbed end provides a grip-fit connection without additional clamps on compatible tubing
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for water, air, and fuel-compatible service
• 1/8-27 male thread mates with standard NPT pipe ports
• 0.25 inch tubing inside diameter for compatibility with common small-bore flexible hose

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems using 1/8-27 threaded ports and flexible tubing with a 0.25 inch inside diameter in HVAC, plumbing, and fluid-transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified mechanics working on fluid or pneumatic systems. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per the system requirements and applicable plumbing or mechanical codes. Do not overtighten the threaded connection; secure the barbed end by pushing tubing fully onto the barb and confirm a flush seat before returning the system to service.
