Value Collection 1429-010 Barbed Tube Insert Coupling

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1429-010 is a male barbed tube insert coupling designed for use in fluid-handling and tubing assemblies. Molded from polyvinylchloride (PVC), this fitting accepts a 1-inch barb and creates a secure mechanical connection between flexible tubing sections. The barbed profile bites into the inner wall of the tubing when pulled under pressure, resisting pull-out without the need for clamps in low-pressure applications. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and general maintenance professionals install this type of fitting in potable water lines, irrigation systems, chemical transfer lines, and similar tubing runs where a reliable, leak-resistant joint is required.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial applications where PVC-compatible flexible tubing is in use. It functions as an in-line connector, joining two runs of tubing or repairing a damaged section. The male barb configuration is intended to seat directly into a receiving tubing end. Typical installation scenarios include irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, HVAC condensate drain lines, and general-purpose fluid transfer systems that operate with flexible vinyl or polyethylene tubing sized to match the 1-inch barb.

Key Features

• 1-inch barb size for use with matching-bore flexible tubing
• PVC construction offers corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility with common fluids
• Male barbed profile provides a pull-resistant, leak-resistant mechanical joint
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds, minimizing load on tubing assemblies
• Single-piece molded design with no moving parts or seals to replace

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style barbed insert coupling for flexible tubing with a 1-inch inner bore compatible with PVC barbed fittings.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified maintenance technician should verify that operating pressure and fluid compatibility are within the rated limits of PVC before installation. Shut off the fluid supply and relieve any line pressure before cutting into existing tubing. The barbed end should be fully seated into the tubing; a hose clamp is recommended in applications where vibration or elevated pressure is present. Installations in potable water systems should comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines.
