Molded from polypropylene, it accepts 3\/8-inch inside-diameter tubing on the barbed ports and threads into a 1\/2-inch NPT female port on the mating component. The fitting is rated for working pressures up to 125 psi and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 212 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of liquid transfer applications. It meets FDA compliance and NSF\/ANSI 51 standards, confirming suitability for contact with food-equipment fluids. Plumbing and HVAC technicians reach for this fitting when a branch tee is needed in a tubing run without switching to compression or push-to-connect hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate drainage, water treatment equipment, and food-service machine plumbing where barbed tubing connections are standard. The male NPT thread allows direct installation into pumps, manifolds, tanks, or valves with a 1\/2-inch NPT female port. NSF\/ANSI 51 certification makes it an appropriate choice where potable water contact with food-equipment components is a consideration. The black polypropylene construction resists common cleaning chemicals encountered in food-service and light industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-barb design accepts 3\/8-inch ID tubing on barbed ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch NPT male thread for direct connection to standard pipe fittings and equipment ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 125 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature range: 0 degrees F to 212 degrees F (0 degrees C to 100 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFDA compliant and NSF\/ANSI 51 certified for food-equipment fluid contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolypropylene construction resists corrosion and common chemicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation barbed branch tee for systems using 3\/8-inch ID tubing and 1\/2-inch NPT female ports in plumbing, HVAC, water treatment, and food-service equipment applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the NPT male threads in accordance with IPC guidelines before threading into the female port. Secure barbed tubing connections with appropriate clamps rated for the working pressure of the system; do not overtighten NPT threads, as polypropylene fittings can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male Branch Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polypropylene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Barbs\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarb Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Inside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.43 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees F (-12.2 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 212 degrees F (100 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.22 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: FDA Compliant, NSF\/ANSI 51\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 372HB-6-8PP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541874016562,"sku":"372HB-6-8PP","price":17.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7bba097d7f89fbf1f23a7706bd70fce4_1a33484f-a39b-4883-a32e-641c186a4cce.jpg?v=1785887324","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-372hb-6-8pp-barbed-male-branch-tee-3-8-in-1-2-npt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
