Molded from polyoxymethylene (POM), a rigid engineering thermoplastic, the fitting accepts 1\/2 inch OD tubing on the push-to-connect end and transitions to a barbed outlet for secure hose attachment. The EPDM O-ring provides a reliable seal against moisture and a broad range of fluids. Rated to 250 psi, this fitting is suited for moderate-pressure plumbing, irrigation, water treatment, and HVAC condensate or fluid-transfer lines. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fluid-system installers use it where a fast, repeatable connection is needed without threading or soldering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe A8TCB8 is used in residential and light commercial applications where 1\/2 inch OD tubing must connect to a barbed hose or fitting. Typical scenarios include HVAC condensate drain lines, water treatment equipment, RO systems, and low-pressure fluid transfer assemblies. The push-to-connect mechanism allows rapid field installation or replacement, reducing labor time on service calls. The gray POM body resists chemical exposure common in water handling and HVAC environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect inlet accepts 1\/2 inch OD tubing without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarbed outlet provides a secure grip on flexible hose or tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyoxymethylene (POM) body offers rigidity and chemical resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEPDM O-ring seals against water and common HVAC fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 250 psi for use in moderate-pressure systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact form factor at approximately 1 inch in length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for systems using 1\/2 inch OD tubing with barbed hose connections in fluid transfer, HVAC, and water treatment applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or fluid-system mechanics. Before servicing, shut off system pressure and relieve any residual line pressure. Ensure tubing end is cut square and deburred before inserting into the push-to-connect end to achieve a full, leak-free seat. Verify the barbed end connection is secured with an appropriate clamp or retainer per applicable plumbing or mechanical codes.\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\u003eMaximum Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\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\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\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: A8TCB8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542213230898,"sku":"A8TCB8","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2529f230bdcd24292c25c8ccebfc33c4_055dfa0e-f803-419f-ba6f-81de0e9354b0.jpg?v=1785895296","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-a8tcb8-push-to-connect-tube-to-barb-connector","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
