Ham-let 3102386 Compression Female Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3102386 is a brass compression tube female elbow fitting designed to create a 90-degree directional change in tubing runs while transitioning to a female NPT threaded connection. The fitting uses a compression-style tube end on one side and a 1/2-inch FNPT threaded end on the other, allowing technicians to connect soft or hard tubing directly to a female-threaded port without soldering or flaring. Constructed from brass, this fitting is well suited for gas, water, and instrumentation service lines where a reliable, leak-resistant mechanical connection is required. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation applications where tubing must terminate or change direction at a female-threaded valve, manifold, or equipment port. The compression end accepts tubing sized to match the fitting's compression seat, while the 1/2-inch FNPT end threads directly into a standard female pipe port. It is commonly installed in refrigerant lines, water supply connections, compressed air systems, and instrument sensing lines.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow configuration routes tubing in tight or confined spaces
• Compression x FNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering or flaring at the tube end
• 1/2-inch thread size on the FNPT end fits standard female pipe ports
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability across a range of fluid and gas service applications
• Swagelok cross-reference part number B-600-8-8 for compatibility verification

Compatibility

Cross-references to Swagelok part number B-600-8-8. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install compression tube female elbow fitting for systems requiring a 1/2-inch Compression x FNPT connection in brass.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the fluid or gas supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Follow IPC or IFGC guidelines as applicable to the service type. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque; hand-tighten and then advance with a wrench only as needed to achieve a leak-free seal.
