Parker A8TEB8 Push-to-connect Tube Elbow Barb 1/2 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER A8TEB8 is a push-to-connect tube elbow barb fitting designed for quick, reliable connections in pneumatic and fluid-transfer tubing systems. Manufactured from polyoxymethylene (POM), a high-strength engineering plastic, the fitting offers a gray body and incorporates an EPDM O-ring for a secure, leak-resistant seal. Rated to 250 psi, it accepts 1/2 inch OD tubing and allows a direction change without threaded fittings or adhesives. Plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians use this type of fitting where fast assembly and disassembly are priorities.

The A8TEB8 is suited for low-to-medium pressure pneumatic lines, water distribution tubing, and light fluid-handling assemblies in both residential and light commercial installations. The push-to-connect mechanism allows tubing to seat and seal without tools, making it practical for tight spaces or high-volume assembly work. It is compatible with 1/2 inch OD plastic or compatible flexible tubing in systems where POM fittings and EPDM seals meet the service requirements.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design seats and locks 1/2 inch OD tubing without tools
• Elbow configuration enables a direction change in the tubing run
• POM (polyoxymethylene) body provides high stiffness and chemical resistance
• EPDM O-ring delivers reliable sealing performance across a broad temperature range
• Rated to 250 psi for compatibility with low-to-medium pressure service
• Compact gray body suited for confined installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch OD tubing in pneumatic and fluid-transfer systems where POM construction and EPDM sealing materials are appropriate for the service media and temperature range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or pneumatic technicians. Before installing or removing this fitting, depressurize and isolate the system completely. Ensure the tubing end is cut square, deburred, and free of contamination before inserting it into the fitting. Consult applicable plumbing and mechanical codes to confirm POM fittings and EPDM O-rings are rated for the intended service media and operating conditions.
