Value Collection 1429-015 Barbed Tube Insert Coupling

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1429-015 is a male barbed tube insert coupling designed for use in fluid-transfer and piping systems where a secure, leak-resistant connection is needed. Constructed from PVC, this fitting accepts 1-1/2 inch barbed tubing and is intended for push-in installation into compatible flexible tubing. The male barb configuration creates a mechanical grip on the inner wall of the tube, helping to maintain a tight seal under normal operating pressures. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and general trade professionals typically install this type of fitting in low-pressure fluid lines, drainage applications, and pool or spa plumbing systems.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial applications where PVC-compatible flexible tubing is used. Common install scenarios include pool and spa plumbing, irrigation laterals, and general water transfer lines. The 1-1/2 inch barb size matches standard tubing with a corresponding inner diameter, making it a practical field fitting for repairs and new installations alike. Sold individually, it is well-suited for single-point repair work or low-quantity plumbing jobs.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard field fitting for flexible PVC tubing with a 1-1/2 inch inner diameter, commonly used in pool, spa, irrigation, and general water-transfer plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or irrigation technicians. Before installation, shut off the water supply and relieve any residual pressure in the line. Push the barbed end firmly into the flexible tubing until the tube seats fully against the fitting shoulder, and secure with a clamp where required by local plumbing codes. PVC fittings should not be used with fluids or operating conditions outside the material rating of the fitting.
