Tubing ID, Natural Polypropylene (MPN: N080\/070-6)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Value Plastics N080\/070-6 (manufactured under the Nordson MEDICAL fluid management portfolio) is a premium, bioprocess-grade straight reduction tube coupling precision-engineered for critical fluid routing applications. This inline adapter features a double-ended hose barb configuration designed to bridge mismatched flexible lines, stepping down from a 1\/2 inch (12.7 mm) Inner Diameter (ID) line down to a smaller 3\/8 inch (9.5 mm) ID line. Molded from high-purity natural polypropylene, this fitting provides excellent chemical resistance and structural integrity. The crisp barb ridges grip the internal lining of flexible tubing, establishing a leak-proof mechanical joint capable of handling low-pressure laboratory, bioprocessing, and medical device fluid transfer lines without slipping loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Performance and Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterlocking Hose Barb Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e Outfitted with precision-molded barb profiles on both ends.
