Eaton 3500X6 90 Degree Female Elbow 3/8 Inch Fnptf Brass

Product Description

The EATON 3500X6 is a 90-degree female pipe elbow fitting designed for industrial fluid and pneumatic plumbing systems. Constructed from brass, this elbow accepts 3/8-inch female threads on both ports using the FNPTF thread standard, which produces a pressure-tight seal on the threads themselves without relying solely on a separate sealant. The fitting is rated to 1,200 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of fluid, air, and gas line applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals commonly install this type of fitting during pipe assembly or repair work.

This elbow is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant-side accessory lines, compressed air systems, and hydraulic or pneumatic circuits where a 90-degree directional change is required in a female-threaded connection. The FNPTF thread form conforms to SAE 130238 standards, making it appropriate for systems where thread-sealing integrity is a design requirement. It is sold individually and is a standard catalog replacement or new-installation component used across a broad range of pipe and tubing assemblies.

• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Meets SAE 130238 thread standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard FNPTF-threaded 90-degree female elbow replacement or new-installation fitting for industrial pipe systems requiring 3/8-inch female connections conforming to SAE 130238.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC or industrial maintenance technician. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any pipe fittings. FNPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form; consult applicable codes such as IFGC or IPC to confirm whether thread sealant is required for the specific fluid service. Inspect threads for damage before assembly and do not overtighten, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
