Value Collection 1406-005 Barbed Tube Insert Elbow

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1406-005 is a male barbed tube insert elbow fitting designed for joining flexible tubing at a 90-degree change of direction. Constructed from polyvinylchloride (PVC), this insert elbow accepts 1/2 inch barbed connections and is intended for low-pressure fluid transfer applications in plumbing, irrigation, and general fluid handling systems. The barbed design creates a secure mechanical grip inside the tubing wall when the tubing is pushed onto the barb. This fitting weighs approximately 0.03 pounds and is a standard stocking item for plumbing and irrigation supply applications. Installation requires no tools beyond tubing cutters and, where required, hose clamps for retention.

This barbed insert elbow is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa circulation lines, irrigation distribution systems, and general fluid transfer setups where flexible PVC or compatible tubing is used. The male insert end pushes directly into the tubing bore. It is commonly installed by plumbers, irrigation technicians, and pool service professionals during new construction, retrofit, or repair work on flexible tubing runs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers and irrigation or pool service technicians. Before installing or replacing fittings, shut off the water supply and relieve any residual line pressure. Push the barbed end firmly into the tubing bore until fully seated; use approved hose clamps where required by local plumbing codes or the application demands retention under pressure. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for fitting ratings in pressurized or potable water systems.
