Parker 365HB-8N Barbed Tube Union Elbow 1/2 Inch Nylon

Product Description

The PARKER 365HB-8N is a single-barb tube union elbow fitting designed to connect two lengths of flexible tubing at a 90-degree angle without threaded fittings or clamps. Molded from nylon in white, this elbow accepts 1/2 inch inside diameter tubing with a 0.55 inch outside diameter on each port. It carries an FDA Compliant and NSF/ANSI 51 certification, making it appropriate for use in food-equipment and beverage-dispensing fluid circuits. Licensed plumbers, refrigeration technicians, and equipment service techs install this type of fitting in low-pressure water and fluid lines where a directional change is required.

The 365HB-8N suits residential and light commercial applications where flexible tubing must change direction within a confined space. Typical install scenarios include undercounter ice machines, water filtration systems, beverage dispensers, and food-service equipment plumbing. The fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 125 psi and operates across a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, covering most potable-water and food-grade fluid service conditions encountered in the field.

Key Features

• Single-barb union elbow joins two 1/2 inch ID flexible tubing runs at 90 degrees
• Nylon construction resists corrosion and is compatible with potable water and food-grade fluid systems
• FDA Compliant and NSF/ANSI 51 certified for food-equipment fluid contact applications
• 125 psi maximum working pressure suitable for low-pressure water and beverage lines
• Wide temperature rating of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F covers most service conditions
• Tool-free push-and-barb installation — no clamps or thread sealant required

Compatibility

Designed for use with flexible tubing having a 1/2 inch inside diameter and approximately 0.55 inch outside diameter. Suitable as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting in food-service equipment, water filtration, and beverage-dispensing plumbing systems certified to NSF/ANSI 51 requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers or qualified equipment service technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely, and push each tube end fully onto the barb until it seats to achieve a leak-free connection. Verify that the tubing material and wall thickness are compatible with the rated pressure and temperature before returning the system to service.
