Parker 237-5/32-2 Barbed Female Branch Tee 5/32in

Product Description

The PARKER 237-5/32-2 is a brass barbed female branch tee fitting designed to create a three-way branch connection in low-pressure fluid or pneumatic tubing systems. It accepts 5/32-inch OD tubing on the barbed ports and features a 1/8-27 female threaded port for inline or panel-mount connections. The barbed design secures flexible tubing without additional clamps in most light-duty applications. At 0.03 pounds, this compact fitting is a single-piece unit sold individually. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation installers commonly use this type of fitting when routing small-bore tubing through fluid transfer, pneumatic control, or cooling systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving small-diameter flexible tubing in fluid handling, pneumatic lines, or low-pressure instrumentation circuits. The female threaded branch port threads directly into a panel, manifold, or threaded port fitting, while the barbed legs accept 5/32-inch OD tubing with a 0.096-inch inside diameter. It is appropriate for systems using compatible flexible tubing materials such as polyurethane, vinyl, or nylon in low-pressure service.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in fluid and pneumatic service
• Barbed ports sized for 5/32-inch OD tubing with 0.096-inch ID for a secure push-on connection
• 1/8-27 female threaded branch port for direct connection to threaded fittings or ports
• Compact, lightweight design at 0.03 pounds for space-constrained installations
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order requirement beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems using 5/32-inch OD small-bore flexible tubing with 1/8-27 female threaded branch connections in low-pressure fluid or pneumatic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, HVAC technician, or instrumentation mechanic familiar with small-bore tubing systems. Depressurize and drain the line before removing or installing any fitting. Push tubing fully onto the barbed port to the depth of the barb to ensure a leak-free seal. Verify thread compatibility and apply appropriate thread sealant on the female threaded port per the system manufacturer guidelines and applicable codes.
