Value Collection 1401-007 Barbed Tube Insert Tee Plug

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1401-007 is a male barbed tube insert tee plug made from polyvinylchloride (PVC). It is designed to terminate or cap off the tee branch of a barbed tube fitting in fluid-handling systems. The 3/4 inch barb size seats securely inside compatible tubing, creating a leak-resistant seal without tools or adhesives. This fitting is suited for low-pressure plumbing, irrigation, and HVAC condensate line applications. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and HVAC service techs install this part when a tee branch needs to be capped during repair, system modification, or temporary line isolation.

This insert tee plug is used in residential and light commercial settings where 3/4 inch barbed tubing is present. Common applications include condensate drain lines, irrigation distribution networks, and general fluid-transfer plumbing. It fits into the barbed port of a tee fitting and holds by mechanical barb engagement with the inner wall of the tubing. Its PVC construction is compatible with water and a wide range of non-aggressive fluids at standard operating pressures.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch barb size for a secure friction fit in compatible tubing
• PVC construction resists corrosion and is suitable for water and mild fluid service
• Male barbed design installs without tools or clamps
• Compact plug form factor caps tee branch ports cleanly
• Lightweight at 0.07 pounds for easy handling and storage

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for barbed tee fittings using 3/4 inch inner-diameter flexible tubing in plumbing, irrigation, and HVAC condensate drain systems.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician should install this fitting in pressurized or regulated systems. Shut off water supply or isolate the line before inserting the plug. Push the barbed end firmly into the tubing until fully seated to ensure a leak-resistant connection. Verify local plumbing codes under the IPC or applicable state code for allowable fitting types before installation.
