Cerrobrass 70A-6C Compression Female Elbow 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The CERROBRASS 70A-6C is a brass compression tube female elbow designed to connect 3/8-inch OD tubing to a 3/8 NPT female threaded port at a 90-degree angle. The fitting uses a compression-style end on one side and a female NPT (FNPT) threaded connection on the other, allowing a secure, leak-resistant joint without soldering or brazing. 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 both cold and moderate-temperature fluid applications. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this fitting in fuel gas, refrigerant, and fluid transfer lines where a direction change is needed at a threaded port. Constructed from brass to resist corrosion and ensure long service life.

This elbow fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and fuel system applications where 3/8-inch OD tubing must transition to a 3/8 NPT female threaded connection at a 90-degree angle. Common installation scenarios include natural gas appliance supply lines, instrumentation tubing runs, and hydraulic or pneumatic fluid systems requiring a directional change. The 9/16-24 thread size on the compression end and SAE standards compliance make it a straightforward replacement or new-install fitting for trade professionals working with compression tube assemblies.

• SAE standards compliant for verified dimensional and performance consistency
• 3/8 NPT pipe size with 9/16-24 compression thread for secure, leak-resistant joints

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install compression tube female elbow for 3/8-inch OD tubing systems terminating at a 3/8 NPT female threaded port in plumbing, HVAC, gas, and fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before disassembly or installation. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then advance with a wrench - do not overtighten, as brass compression fittings can be damaged by excessive force. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads as required by local code before making up the female threaded connection.
