Parker 325HB-10-12N Barbed Male Connector 5/8 in 3/4 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 325HB-10-12N is a single-barb male connector fitting designed to join flexible tubing to a 3/4 inch NPT threaded port. Molded from white nylon, this fitting accepts tubing with a 5/8 inch inside diameter and a 0.67 inch outside diameter. It is rated for working pressures up to 125 psi and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The fitting meets FDA compliance standards and NSF/ANSI 51 certification, making it appropriate for food-equipment and potable-water-adjacent fluid handling. Plumbers, refrigeration technicians, and food-service equipment installers are the typical end users.

This fitting is used in light fluid conveyance systems where a barbed male connector is needed to transition from flexible nylon or polyethylene tubing to an NPT-threaded port. Common applications include beverage dispensing equipment, ice machine water lines, food processing machinery, and light-duty plumbing assemblies where NSF/ANSI 51 compliance is required. The single-barb design provides a reliable grip on the tubing and is intended for low-pressure service within its rated operating range.

Compatibility

Designed for use with flexible tubing having a 5/8 inch inside diameter and 0.67 inch outside diameter, connecting to 3/4 inch NPT threaded ports in low-pressure fluid systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified equipment technicians. Depressurize and drain the fluid line completely before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Hand-tighten the NPT thread and apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape per IPC guidelines before final tightening with a wrench. Do not exceed the rated working pressure of 125 psi or the maximum temperature of 200 degrees F.
