Brasscraft 69-6-6X 90 Degree Tube Elbow 3/8 in Brass

Product Description

The BRASSCRAFT 69-6-6X is a 90-degree tube elbow fitting from the 69 Series, designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas supply lines. This fitting transitions a compression connection on one end to a male NPT (MNPT) threaded connection on the other, allowing a direction change at a right angle. The nominal size is 3/8 inch. Constructed from solid brass, this elbow delivers reliable sealing performance in compression fittings used with copper or compatible tubing. It is a domestically produced fitting suited for professional installation by licensed plumbers and gas fitters.

The 69-6-6X is used in applications where a 90-degree directional change is needed between a compression-type tube connection and a male NPT threaded port. Common installation scenarios include supply stop connections, water heater supply lines, ice maker lines, and gas appliance connections where MNPT ports are present. The compression end allows tool-assisted, no-solder connection to compatible tubing for efficient service work.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry for right-angle directional changes in piping runs
• Compression x MNPT end configuration for connecting tubing to threaded male ports
• 3/8 inch nominal size for standard residential supply line applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/8 inch compression-to-MNPT connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC or IFGC where relevant. Shut off water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any existing connections. The compression end requires a ferrule and nut tightened to proper engagement — do not overtighten, as brass threads and ferrules can deform. Inspect tubing ends for squareness and burrs before seating the compression connection.
