The main advantage of the Value Plastics products is the Single Barb Concept. Many designers are not aware of the point that the barb design greatly effects the security of their tube connection. Because of the shape of a barb, it is impossible to injection mold any but the first barb without a parting line. This parting line creates a potential leak path, which becomes more pronounced as the tooling wears, and increasing the likelihood of failure.

Two other problems exist with multiple barb fittings:

1. It is impossible to fabricate tooling that creates a perfectly sharp edge on each barb of a molded multi-barb-fitting - a feature critical to the performance of the connection.
2. Multiple barb fittings do not allow the tubing to relax behind the first barb. Because the tubing "bridges" from barb to barb it is not allowed an uninterrupted interface with the fitting. This result is compromised pressure and tensile capacities.

All Value Plastics products avoid these shortcomings. Their expert tooling design assures the sharpest edge possible allowing the barb to "bite" into the tubing, Then, the cylindrical surface behind the barb allows the tubing to relax against the fitting.
