Cerrobrass 69A-6C Compression Male Elbow 3/8 in Brass 400 Psi

Product Description

The CERROBRASS 69A-6C is a brass compression tube male elbow designed to create a secure, leak-tight transition between a compression tube connection and a male NPT threaded port. This fitting uses a 9/16-24 thread size and accepts 3/8-inch outside diameter tubing on the compression side, connecting to a 3/8 NPT male pipe thread on the other end. Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure, it handles a wide service temperature range from -65 degrees F to 212 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding fluid and gas line applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This male elbow fitting is used where a tube line must change direction and terminate at a male NPT threaded port. Typical applications include residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant or fluid lines, and pneumatic or hydraulic control systems where a 90-degree directional change is required. The compression end accommodates 3/8-inch OD tubing without soldering, making it practical for quick, field-serviceable connections. It meets SAE standards and is subject to California Proposition 65 requirements.

Key Features

• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tool-serviceable, no-solder tube termination
• 400 psi maximum working pressure for reliable performance in pressurized systems
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 212 degrees F
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in fluid service
• Meets SAE standards
• 3/8-inch OD tube size with 9/16-24 compression thread and 3/8 NPT male pipe connection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for systems using 3/8-inch OD tubing terminating at a 3/8 NPT male threaded port, consistent with SAE-standard plumbing and HVAC fluid line assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Shut off the supply line and depressurize the system fully before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and deburred before inserting into the compression end to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
