Parker 10MSEL6N-316 Compression Male Elbow 3/8-18 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 10MSEL6N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect tubing to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. It uses a compression end on one side and a male NPT (MNPT) thread on the other, making it suitable for applications that require a secure, leak-resistant transition between tubing and pipe threads. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 6100 psi, a maximum temperature of 1200 degrees F, and a minimum temperature of -425 degrees F, this fitting handles demanding conditions across a wide range of industrial, HVAC, instrumentation, and fluid-system applications. Installation is performed by qualified plumbers, pipefitters, or instrumentation technicians.

This elbow fitting is used wherever a 90-degree directional change is needed in a compression tube line terminating at an NPT-threaded port. Common install scenarios include hydraulic instrumentation lines, high-pressure gas and fluid systems, and industrial process piping. The 3/8-18 NPT thread size suits standard pipe connections in both light and heavy-duty service environments. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive environments and high-temperature or cryogenic service where carbon steel fittings are not suitable.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh and high-purity environments
• Maximum working pressure of 6100 psi for high-pressure fluid and gas service
• Wide temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F covering cryogenic through high-heat applications
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow direct tubing-to-pipe-thread transition without welding
• 3/8-18 NPT thread size matches standard pipe thread specifications
• 90-degree male elbow geometry for space-efficient directional changes in tubing runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install compression tube fitting for high-pressure fluid and gas systems requiring a 3/8-18 NPT male thread connection with a compression tube end.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or instrumentation technician familiar with high-pressure compression fittings and NPT thread standards. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPT threads per system requirements and applicable codes. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as excess force can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
