Parker 230-4-2 Barbed Tube Female Elbow 1/8-27

Product Description

The PARKER 230-4-2 is a barbed tube female elbow fitting designed to connect flexible tubing to a female-threaded port at a 90-degree angle. Constructed from brass, this fitting accepts a tube outer diameter of 0.25 inches and features a tube inner diameter of 0.17 inches. The female thread size is 1/8-27, a common NPT-style thread found across a wide range of fluid and pneumatic system applications. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing performance in low-pressure plumbing, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer assemblies. This type of fitting is typically installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals.

This fitting is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications where flexible tubing must transition to a threaded female port. Common install scenarios include pneumatic control lines, condensate and fluid transfer tubing, and instrument air lines. The elbow geometry allows routing changes without bending or kinking the connected tubing, making it useful in confined spaces or panel installations where straight fittings are not practical.

Key Features

• 90-degree female elbow configuration routes tubing in tight or confined installations
• Barbed design grips flexible tubing securely without additional clamps in low-pressure service
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance in fluid and pneumatic systems
• 1/8-27 female thread is a widely used NPT-compatible size across plumbing and pneumatic assemblies
• 0.17-inch tube inner diameter and 0.25-inch tube outer diameter for precise tubing compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems using 1/8-27 female-threaded ports with flexible barbed tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified maintenance technician. Shut off all system pressure and depressurize lines before removing or installing fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads mating with this fitting in accordance with applicable plumbing or pneumatic codes. Ensure the barbed tubing connection is fully seated over the barb to the base before pressurizing the system.
