Parker A6TEB4 Tube Elbow Barb Fitting 3/8 X 1/4 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER A6TEB4 is a push-to-connect tube elbow barb connector designed for pneumatic and fluid transfer lines requiring a 90-degree direction change. Built from polyoxymethylene (POM), this fitting handles pressures up to 230 psi and accepts tube outside diameters of 3/8 inch on one end and 1/4 inch on the other. Its push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion, reducing installation time on compressed air, water, or light fluid systems. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals install this type of fitting where tubing must transition direction in tight equipment cabinets or panel layouts.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving pneumatic controls, condensate lines, or low-pressure fluid systems. The elbow configuration is especially useful in confined spaces where straight connectors cannot accommodate the routing path. The 3/8 x 1/4 inch OD size combination makes it practical for reducing or transitioning tube sizes at the same bend point, eliminating the need for a separate reducer and elbow in the line.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and removal
• Rated to 230 psi for use in pneumatic and low-pressure fluid applications
• POM (polyoxymethylene) construction offers good chemical resistance and dimensional stability
• Elbow barb geometry provides a 90-degree directional change in a single fitting
• Dual OD sizing (3/8 x 1/4 inch) combines direction change and tube-size transition in one component

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for pneumatic or fluid transfer tubing systems using 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch outside-diameter tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or industrial maintenance professionals. Before servicing, depressurize and isolate the line to be cut or reconnected. Ensure tube ends are cut cleanly and squarely with a tube cutter for a reliable seal; ragged or angled cuts can compromise the push-to-connect grip and cause leaks. Verify the system operating pressure does not exceed the 230 psi rating of this fitting.
