Value Collection 1429-007 Barbed Tube Insert Coupling

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1429-007 is a male barbed tube insert coupling designed for secure, push-in connections in fluid-handling systems. Molded from polyvinylchloride (PVC), this insert coupling accepts 3/4-inch barbed tubing and locks into flexible hose or tubing lines without threading. The barbed profile grips the inner wall of the tube to resist pullout under moderate pressure. It is a standard utility fitting used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, pool and irrigation service techs, and industrial maintenance crews wherever a lightweight, corrosion-resistant connection is needed in a low-to-medium pressure line.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa tubing runs, irrigation distribution lines, and general fluid transfer applications where PVC-compatible tubing with a 3/4-inch inner diameter is used. The male barb configuration inserts directly into compatible hose or tubing ends and is typically used at branch points, repairs, or inline joins in non-threaded flexible tubing assemblies.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch barb size for a secure grip inside compatible flexible tubing
• PVC construction offers corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility with common water-based fluids
• Male barbed configuration for direct insertion into tubing without additional fittings
• Lightweight at 0.04 pounds, minimizing load on tubing lines
• No tools required for basic installation into flexible hose

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or utility insert coupling for flexible tubing with a 3/4-inch inner diameter in plumbing, pool, irrigation, and general fluid transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or qualified service technicians. Shut off the fluid supply and relieve any line pressure before disconnecting or inserting fittings. Lubricate the barb with water or a compatible lubricant to ease insertion into tight-fitting tubing. Secure the tubing over the barb with an appropriate hose clamp to maintain a leak-free connection, and verify the joint is fully seated before restoring flow.
