Thermobarb plastic barbed fittings

Thermobarb plastic barbed fittings are available in nylon, polyethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and polypropylene, and are suitable for multi-use and single-use/disposable applications. They are used in original equipment manufacturer (OEM), chemical, food and beverage, appliance, packaging, laboratory, and many other applications and settings. They are lightweight and compact, and their design uses multiple barbs to provide a secure connection. They offer excellent chemical resistance, durability, and high impact strength. Available styles include adapters, straight connectors, Y’s, tees, elbows, reducers, hose nipples, and more. Features vary depending on the choice of plastic: nylon resists physical stress and abrasion; polyethylene performs best at relatively low temperatures; PVDF is better at handling higher temperatures and pressures; polypropylene is resistant to chemicals and solvents. The single-use style is suitable for disposable tubing assemblies for pharmaceutical and medical applications. It is made from FDA-approved polypropylene and meets U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) Class VI and RoHS standards, and can be sterilized by autoclave or gamma radiation. All fittings work with soft-walled tubing, such as polyvinyl chloride, silicone, polyurethane, and thermal plastic rubber, and are in stock for same-day or just-in-time shipment. Most styles come in sizes ranging from 0.25 in. through 1.0-in. inner dia.
