Plastic 90° Elbow Barbed Joiner Male Thread Hose Pipe Connector Water Fish Tank

Match the barbed diameter to your hose's inner diameter (ID). For example, if your hose has a 9.5 mm (3/8") inner bore, select the 9.5 mm barbed size. A barb that is slightly larger than the hose ID creates a tighter, more leak-resistant seal. If you are unsure, measure the hose ID with calipers before ordering.

Both standards are available. Metric thread options include M6, M10, and M12. Imperial thread options are listed as 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4" BSP/NPT-style designations. Check the Size variant label — the format is barbed diameter – thread size (e.g., "9.5mm-3/8" means a 9.5 mm barb with a 3/8" male thread).

Yes. The rigid plastic construction does not rust or corrode in saltwater environments, making these fittings a practical choice for reef and marine aquarium plumbing. For high-flow or high-salinity setups, pair the barbed end with a stainless steel hose clamp for added security.

Yes. These 90° elbow barbed connectors are well-suited for drip irrigation lateral lines and micro-irrigation tubing runs. They allow you to change hose direction at a right angle without kinking, which is useful when routing tubing around raised beds, planters, or obstacles. Confirm the barbed size matches your irrigation tubing ID.

No adhesive is required. Push the barbed end firmly into a flexible hose of matching inner diameter — the barbs grip the hose wall and resist pull-out under normal water pressure. For higher-flow or vibration-prone applications, slide a hose clamp over the hose before inserting the barb, then tighten it over the barbed section for a more secure hold.

These fittings are designed for low-to-moderate pressure applications typical of aquariums, fish tanks, pond pumps, and drip irrigation systems (generally up to approximately 30–60 PSI depending on hose fit and clamp use). They are not rated for high-pressure mains water supply lines. Contact us to confirm suitability for your specific pressure requirements.

Wrap the male thread with PTFE (plumber's) tape before screwing it into the female fitting. Apply 2–3 layers in the direction of the thread, then hand-tighten followed by a quarter-turn with a wrench. Avoid over-tightening plastic threads, as this can crack the fitting body.

Each variant is a single size and quantity combination. To get multiple sizes, add each size as a separate item to your cart. The quantity options (1, 4, 10, 40 pcs) let you right-size each order so you only buy what you need for your project.
