Parker 28-4-10X32 Barbed Tube Male Connector

Product Description

The PARKER 28-4-10X32 is a barbed tube male connector designed for secure, leak-resistant tubing connections in fluid and pneumatic systems. Constructed from brass, this fitting features a barbed end sized for a 0.17 inch tube inner diameter and a 10-32 male threaded end for attachment to ports, manifolds, or inline components. Its compact, single-piece design requires no secondary ferrule or clamp hardware beyond the barb engagement itself. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid systems mechanics routinely specify barbed brass connectors like this one for instrument tubing, low-pressure pneumatic lines, and liquid transfer applications.

This fitting suits light-duty fluid handling and pneumatic instrumentation work in both residential and commercial settings. It is appropriate for connecting small-bore flexible tubing to threaded ports on equipment such as pressure sensors, solenoid valves, flow meters, and OEM pneumatic assemblies. The 10-32 thread pattern is standard in instrumentation and light pneumatic applications, making this connector a practical stock item for service technicians who regularly service small-bore tubing circuits.

Key Features

• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability in fluid and pneumatic service
• Barbed end sized for 0.17 inch tube inner diameter provides a secure grip on flexible tubing
• 10-32 male thread fits standard instrumentation and pneumatic equipment ports
• Compact single-piece design simplifies installation in tight spaces
• Suitable for low-pressure pneumatic and fluid transfer lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fitting for small-bore flexible tubing systems using 10-32 threaded ports in pneumatic and fluid instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with small-bore tubing and threaded fitting practices. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the service fluid when making up the threaded connection, and push flexible tubing fully onto the barb to ensure a positive seal. Do not overtighten the threaded end, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
