Parker BH8CP-787 Brass Barbed Hose Connector 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER BH8CP-787 is a brass barbed hose connector designed for low-pressure fluid transfer lines in HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial applications. The fitting features a 1/4-inch male coupling end and a 1/4-inch barbed end sized to accept 1/4-inch inside diameter flexible hose. At an overall length of 1.93 inches, it is a compact inline connector built for tight routing in condensate drain lines, equipment cooling circuits, and similar service runs. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing in both wet and dry service environments. Licensed tradespeople and experienced service techs are the primary installers.

This connector suits residential and light commercial HVAC systems, plumbing equipment, and hydronic or condensate piping where a straight barbed-to-male-coupling transition is needed. It is appropriate for use with flexible vinyl, rubber, or polyethylene tubing rated to match the system's operating pressure and temperature. Typical applications include condensate drain connections, equipment water supply lines, and low-pressure process tubing assemblies.

Key Features

• Brass construction resists corrosion in wet service environments
• 1/4-inch barb accepts 1/4-inch ID flexible hose
• Male coupling end for direct connection to compatible female fittings
• Compact 1.93-inch overall length suits confined installation spaces
• Barb size of 0.25 inches provides a secure mechanical grip on tubing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for 1/4-inch ID flexible hose assemblies requiring a straight barbed connector with a male coupling end in HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or plumbers. Shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any hose fitting. Slide the hose fully over the barb and secure with an appropriate hose clamp rated for the application pressure and temperature. Verify the mating female coupling is clean and undamaged before making the connection.
