    About Pipe and Fittings
    industrial info icon

    Measure your pipe and fittings to identify their pipe size, thread size, schedule, and thread type. Then, find compatible components.

    Plastic Barbed Pipe Fittings for Water

    Use these barbed pipe fittings in residential and commercial plumbing and water supply applications. Also known as insert fittings, they have a barbed end that slides into semi-flexible plastic pipe and secures with a clamp (sold separately). Since you don't have to wait for cement to dry, they're quicker to install than socket-connect fittings. They meet ASTM D2609 specifications for barb dimensions.
    To prevent leaks in threaded connections, apply a sealant to the male threads. Threaded connections can be taken apart as needed for maintenance and repair. For metal threads, use PTFE tape. For plastic threads, apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant. Tape or sealants with PTFE are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic connections. When making a threaded connection be careful not to overtighten the threads. To prevent cracks and leaks, finger tighten the fitting, then wrench-tighten one to two turns.
    Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings, flanges, and pipe with compressed air or gas.
    Note: Barbed pipe fittings are measured by pipe size, which is not an actual measured size, but rather an industry designation.
