Zemarc P8MEB8 1/2 Inch Insert X Mipt Male 90 Elbow

Product Description

The ZEMARC P8MEB8 is a polypropylene male 90-degree elbow fitting designed for use in low-pressure fluid piping systems. It features a 1/2-inch insert barb end on one side and a male iron pipe thread (MIPT) connection on the other, allowing a direct transition between barbed tubing and threaded pipe assemblies. The par-barb design grips tubing securely without clamps in many low-pressure applications, though clamps are recommended for pressure-rated lines. Plumbers and irrigation technicians install this fitting during new construction or repair work wherever a 90-degree directional change is needed between barbed tubing and a threaded port.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and fluid-handling applications where polypropylene construction provides adequate chemical and corrosion resistance. It is commonly used to connect flexible poly tubing to threaded fittings on pumps, valves, manifolds, and other equipment requiring a right-angle transition. The MIPT end threads directly into standard female pipe thread (FIPT) ports following ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 taper thread standards.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch insert barb end for secure connection to compatible poly tubing
• Male iron pipe thread (MIPT) outlet for direct connection to FIPT-ported equipment
• 90-degree elbow geometry allows directional changes in tight spaces
• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion and many common chemicals
• Par-barb design provides grip on tubing without additional hardware in low-pressure use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch insert barb polypropylene piping systems using standard MIPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making any connections. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the MIPT threads before threading into the mating FIPT port; do not overtighten, as polypropylene threads can crack under excessive torque. For pressurized lines, secure the barb end with an appropriately sized hose clamp to prevent blowoff.
