Parker PPB8TEU8-MG Tube Elbow Barb Fitting 3/8 X 3/8 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER PPB8TEU8-MG is a push-to-connect tube elbow barb connector designed for use in fluid transfer and pneumatic tubing systems. This fitting accepts 3/8 inch outside diameter tubing on both ports and creates a 90-degree change of direction without tools. Constructed from black polypropylene, it is rated to 150 psi and suited for low-pressure liquid or air lines where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant fitting is required. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fluid system installers use this type of fitting for quick-connect tube routing in tight spaces.

This elbow barb fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications where polypropylene construction is appropriate, including condensate drain lines, water treatment plumbing, and low-pressure pneumatic circuits. The push-to-connect design allows fast field assembly without adhesives, clamps, or additional tooling, making it a practical choice for service calls and new installations alike.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for systems using 3/8 inch outside diameter tubing in low-pressure fluid or pneumatic service.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tools — cut tubing square, deburr the end, and seat it fully into the fitting until it stops. Shut off and depressurize the system before disconnecting or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Verify that the tubing outside diameter and working pressure are within the rated limits of this fitting before placing into service. This type of fitting is typically installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or fluid system mechanics in accordance with applicable local plumbing or mechanical codes.
