Value Collection 1436-005 1/2 in Barb X 1/2 Mipt Pvc Adapter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1436-005 is a male barbed tube adapter designed to connect flexible tubing to threaded pipe fittings in fluid-handling systems. Molded from polyvinylchloride (PVC), this adapter features a 1/2 inch barbed end for securing push-on tubing and a 1/2 inch male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on the opposite end for threaded connections. It is a lightweight fitting at 0.02 pounds, suited for low-pressure water, irrigation, and general plumbing lines where PVC construction is appropriate. Plumbers, irrigation installers, and maintenance technicians use this style of adapter when transitioning from rigid threaded pipe to flexible tubing runs.

This barbed adapter is commonly installed in residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa circulation lines, irrigation distribution systems, and HVAC condensate drain configurations. It is well suited for any application requiring a reliable barb-to-male-thread transition using PVC-compatible materials. No specific model compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch barb end accepts standard push-on flexible tubing
• 1/2 inch MIPT threads connect to female-threaded pipe or fittings
• PVC (polyvinylchloride) construction resists corrosion and common chemicals
• Male thread configuration simplifies inline and end-of-run installations
• Lightweight design at 0.02 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard barb-to-MIPT adapter for use with 1/2 inch flexible tubing and 1/2 inch female-threaded PVC or compatible fittings in low-pressure fluid systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Apply thread sealant tape to the MIPT threads before tightening to a female-threaded fitting to prevent leaks. Secure the barbed end by pushing flexible tubing fully onto the barb and clamping with an appropriately sized hose clamp.
