Parker MP11873 Barbed Tube Female Connector 1/8-27 Brass

Product Description

The PARKER MP11873 is a barbed tube female connector designed to create secure, leak-resistant connections between flexible tubing and threaded female ports in fluid and pneumatic systems. Constructed from brass, this fitting accepts tubing with an inside diameter of 0.17 inches and features a 1/8-27 thread size. The barbed design grips the tubing wall as it seats, reducing the risk of pull-out under pressure. This connector is appropriate for low-pressure pneumatic lines, instrumentation tubing, and light fluid transfer applications. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals commonly use fittings of this type when routing small-bore tubing through control and sensing circuits.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where small-diameter flexible tubing must terminate at a female-threaded port. Typical install scenarios include condensate drain sensing lines, instrument air tubing, and control panel pneumatic circuits. The compact size and standard thread pattern make it a common choice for repair and maintenance work where an existing barbed connector must be replaced in kind. Sold in a package quantity of 5.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or qualified maintenance professionals. Depressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any fitting. Verify tubing inside diameter matches the barb specification before assembly and ensure the tubing is fully seated past the barb to achieve a secure connection. Follow applicable codes including ASME and IFGC guidelines for pneumatic and fluid line fittings.
