The Hunter HSBE-050 1/2" MPT x spiral poly barb elbow provides a secure, easy-to-install transition between a 1/2-inch female threaded outlet and 1/2-inch insert tubing such as FlexSG. Engineered around a single spiral barb path and a flat thread-stop, this elbow reduces installation effort while maintaining a strong mechanical grip on tubing for long-term performance in irrigation and landscape systems.

  • Spiral barb profile: Single spiral path reduces insertion force and improves tubing retention compared with multiple graduated barbs.
  • Flat thread-stop: Prevents over-threading while leaving sufficient thread clearance for tubing orientation and routing.
  • Durable polymer construction: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant material suitable for outdoor irrigation use and common irrigation chemicals.
  • Compatibility: Designed for FlexSG 1/2" insert tubing and compatible with most flexible irrigation tubing brands when properly seated.
  • Compact 90° design: Routes tubing neatly in tight spaces and provides a dependable threaded-to-insert transition for residential and commercial systems.

Installation is straightforward: thread the HSBE-050 into a 1/2" female port until the thread-stop seats, then push the tubing fully over the spiral barb until it is firmly seated. For added peace of mind in high-tension applications, use a small tubing clamp. The HSBE-050 is intended for inline tubing connections where a reliable, leak-resistant elbow is required and is widely used by professionals and homeowners for landscape irrigation, drip lines, and low-pressure distribution lines.
