The fitting accepts 1\/2 inch OD tubing on the push-to-connect end and transitions to a barb connection on the opposite end. The body is molded from polyoxymethylene (POM), a rigid acetal-based thermoplastic that resists wear, moisture, and mild chemicals. The O-ring is EPDM, suited for water, steam, and a range of common industrial fluids. Rated to 250 psi, this fitting is appropriate for moderate-pressure service lines. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals install this type of fitting in tubing runs that require a fast, secure connection without threaded fittings or compression tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis connector is used in residential and light commercial applications where polyolefin or nylon tubing is routed through equipment enclosures, fluid distribution panels, or process lines. Typical install scenarios include HVAC condensate management lines, water treatment systems, and pneumatic control circuits where a barb-to-tube transition is needed. The gray POM body is compact and lightweight, making it suitable for tight routing paths. This fitting is sold individually and is intended for use where the tubing OD measures exactly 1\/2 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect end accepts 1\/2 inch OD tubing without tools or compression sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarb outlet provides a secure friction-retention connection to compatible flexible tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePOM (polyoxymethylene) body provides rigidity and resistance to moisture and mild chemicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEPDM O-ring seals for compatibility with water, steam, and common process fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 250 psi for moderate-pressure service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGray color for easy visual identification in multi-line installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for systems using 1\/2 inch OD push-to-connect tubing with a barb transition, typical in HVAC, plumbing, and fluid distribution applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified maintenance personnel. Before installation, shut off fluid supply and depressurize the line completely. Ensure the tubing end is cut square and free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect end to achieve a proper O-ring seal. Do not exceed the rated working pressure of 250 psi, and verify chemical compatibility of both the POM body and EPDM O-ring with the fluid media prior to installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polyoxymethylene (POM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eO-Ring Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: EPDM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27121707\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: A8TCB6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540677493042,"sku":"A8TCB6","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2529f230bdcd24292c25c8ccebfc33c4.jpg?v=1785861667","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-a8tcb6-push-to-connect-tube-to-barb-connector","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
