Parker 26-6-2 Barbed Tube Female Connector Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 26-6-2 is a brass barbed tube female connector designed for secure, leak-resistant tubing connections in fluid and pneumatic systems. It features a 0.25-inch tube inside diameter and a 1/8-27 female thread, making it a compact fitting for low-pressure plumbing, instrumentation, and fluid transfer lines. The multiple-barb design grips tubing firmly without additional clamps in many light-duty applications. This fitting is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals working with small-diameter tubing assemblies.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a barbed fitting must transition from a threaded female port to flexible tubing. Typical install scenarios include equipment instrumentation lines, refrigeration or HVAC accessory tubing, small-bore water or fluid transfer systems, and pneumatic control lines. The brass construction provides good corrosion resistance in general-purpose environments. It is sold and packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• Multiple-barb design provides a firm grip on flexible tubing without additional clamps in light-duty service
• 1/8-27 female thread for connection to standard NPT-threaded ports
• 0.25-inch tube inside diameter accommodates common small-bore flexible tubing
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability in general fluid and air service
• Compact form factor suitable for tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems using 1/8-27 female NPT threaded ports with 0.25-inch ID barbed tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off fluid or air supply and relieve system pressure before servicing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads of the mating port per IPC and IFGC guidelines for threaded connections. Push tubing fully onto the barb until it seats against the fitting body to ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
