Eaton 1369X6L Compression Male Elbow 1/4 in Brass

Product Description

The EATON 1369X6L is a brass compression tube male elbow designed to create a 90-degree directional change in tubing runs where a compression fitting connects to a male NPT threaded port. The fitting features a 1/4-inch thread size with compression-to-MNPT end connections, making it a standard choice for fuel gas, refrigeration, or instrumentation lines that require a leak-resistant mechanical joint without soldering. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in both indoor and exposed service environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation installers commonly use this fitting type in low-pressure fluid and gas systems.

This male elbow fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where tubing must change direction and terminate at a male NPT port. Typical installation scenarios include connecting copper or compatible soft tubing to valves, regulators, manifolds, or equipment ports with 1/4-inch MNPT inlets. The compression end allows field assembly without special tooling beyond a standard wrench, reducing installation time on service calls or new construction work.

Key Features

• 90-degree male elbow configuration for directional tubing changes
• 1/4-inch compression x MNPT end connections for versatile hookup
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• No-solder compression joint assembly with standard hand tools
• Compact form factor suitable for tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/4-inch compression tube connections terminating at male NPT threaded ports in plumbing, HVAC, or instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC or IFGC guidelines. Shut off all fluid or gas supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then advance with a wrench — do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive force. Verify joint integrity with an appropriate leak-detection method before returning the system to service.
