Parker 269HB-10-6 Brass Barbed Elbow Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER 269HB-10-6 is a brass barbed elbow hose fitting designed for connecting flexible hose to threaded pipe or equipment ports. It features a 3/8 inch male NPT threaded end on one side and a beaded 5/8 inch ID hose barb on the other, with the 90-degree elbow configuration allowing routing changes in tight spaces. Constructed from brass, the fitting is rated for service between -40 degrees F and 160 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of fluid transfer applications in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial systems. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals install this fitting where a direction change and a secure barb-to-hose connection are both required in a single component.

This fitting is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems where 5/8 inch ID flexible hose must connect to a 3/8 inch NPT threaded port at a right angle. Typical applications include condensate drain lines, low-pressure fluid transfer, and equipment cooling lines. The beaded hose barb design provides a more secure grip on the hose, reducing the risk of blowoff when used with a clamp. It is appropriate for use with water, air, and many common non-corrosive fluids within the rated temperature range.

Key Features

• Beaded 5/8 inch ID hose barb for improved hose retention and clamp security
• 3/8 inch male NPT thread for standard threaded port connections
• 90-degree elbow body allows directional routing in confined installations
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance for water and air service
• Rated from -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F for broad temperature compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 5/8 inch ID flexible hose with a 3/8 inch NPT threaded connection point.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off fluid supply and relieve any system pressure before removing or installing fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male NPT threads in accordance with applicable plumbing codes before tightening. Slide the hose fully over the barb past the bead and secure with an appropriately sized hose clamp to prevent leaks.
