Valterra RF835 3/8″ Male Pipe Thread x 3/8″ Barb Elbow Fitting Black

Description

Product Overview

The Valterra RF835 is a precision‑engineered 3/8in male pipe thread to 3/8in barb elbow fitting designed for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic applications. Constructed from high‑impact Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), the fitting provides excellent chemical resistance and durability while remaining lightweight at just 4.54 g. The smooth NPT (National Pipe Thread) male end ensures a leak‑free seal when mated with standard NPT‑rated components, and the 90‑degree barb end offers a secure connection to 3/8in tubing without the need for additional adapters. Finished in a sleek black coating, the RF835 blends functionality with a professional appearance, making it suitable for both industrial installations and DIY projects.

Usage

This fitting excels in environments where space is limited and reliable fluid transfer is critical. It is commonly used in water‑cooling loops, air‑compressor systems, pneumatic tool lines, and chemical processing equipment. The compact 0.31in length allows the elbow to be positioned in tight corners, reducing the overall footprint of the piping network. Because the ABS material tolerates a wide temperature range, the RF835 can be employed in both high‑temperature hydraulic circuits and low‑temperature pneumatic lines without degradation. Installers appreciate the straightforward threading process: simply hand‑tighten the male NPT end into a compatible socket, then push the 3/8in barb onto the tubing until it seats firmly.
