Value Collection 1406-010 Barbed Tube Insert Elbow 1in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1406-010 is a male barbed tube insert elbow fitting designed to create a 90-degree directional change in tubing runs. Constructed from PVC, this insert elbow accepts tubing with a 1-inch barb size and provides a secure, push-in connection that resists pull-out under normal working pressures. The barbed design grips the inner wall of compatible tubing, making it a reliable choice for fluid transfer lines in plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid-handling applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and irrigation technicians regularly specify this style of fitting where a low-profile, no-thread elbow connection is needed.

This fitting is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, pool and spa water lines, irrigation distribution networks, and general fluid transfer assemblies where PVC tubing is the primary conveyance material. The male insert configuration allows the fitting to seat inside the tubing end rather than slip over it, providing a compact connection point in tight routing situations.

Key Features

• 1-inch barb size for secure grip on compatible tubing inner diameter
• PVC construction offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of water-based fluids
• Male insert elbow configuration creates a 90-degree directional change in tubing runs
• Barbed retention design resists pull-out without additional adhesives or clamps in low-pressure applications
• Lightweight at 0.07 pounds, reducing load in overhead or suspended piping assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for PVC tubing systems requiring a 1-inch barbed male insert elbow connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the fluid system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing inner diameter matches the 1-inch barb size for a proper interference fit; a hose clamp is recommended to secure the connection under pressure or vibration conditions. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings of the PVC material for the specific fluid being conveyed.
