Product Description

The Value Plastics 200 Series barbed adapter is made of nylon and has tube and a male connectors. This adapter has angled barbs for connecting pipes or tubing of different types. It connects to tubing on one end and a male connector with a tapered thread on the other. This fitting is made of nylon, for strength and durability, as well as being lightweight and having abrasion-, crush-, and crack-resistance. It has hex nut construction for tighter, leak-free connections, and expands the inside diameter (ID) of tubing by 50 percent, permitting its use in high-pressure applications.Pipe and tube fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. Barbed fittings are characterized by the presence of angled barbs that grab and hold on the inner diameter (ID) of a hose. They are designed so that hose is easily mounted over the fitting, but is difficult to remove. When purchasing fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).Value Plastics manufactures plastic tubing fittings and connectors. The company, founded in 1968, is headquartered in Ft. Collins, CO, and meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001:2008.
