Parker 10MSEL6N-B Compression Male Elbow 3/8 in Mnpt

Product Description

The PARKER 10MSEL6N-B is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to create a 90-degree directional change in tubing runs while transitioning from a compression end to a male NPT threaded connection. Built from solid brass, this fitting handles up to 2000 psi working pressure, making it well suited for hydraulic, pneumatic, instrumentation, and fluid transfer applications. The compression end secures tubing without soldering or flaring, while the 3/8-inch MNPT end threads directly into a port or valve body. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation fitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in both commercial and industrial environments.

This elbow is appropriate for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems, HVAC refrigerant or fluid lines, compressed air distribution, and instrumentation tubing assemblies where a change in direction and a transition to a threaded port are required in a single fitting. The 3/8-inch thread size is a common dimension across a wide range of valve bodies, manifolds, and equipment ports. The compression side accommodates tubing of the corresponding nominal size, allowing a clean, leak-resistant connection without heat or adhesive.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and broad fluid compatibility
• Maximum working pressure of 2000 psi suits demanding hydraulic and pneumatic service
• Compression x MNPT end configuration allows a single fitting to connect tubing to a threaded port
• 3/8-inch thread size fits a wide range of standard equipment ports and valve bodies
• No soldering or flaring required on the compression end — reduces installation time
• Compact elbow profile supports tight routing in confined panel or equipment enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for use in plumbing, HVAC, pneumatic, and instrumentation systems requiring a 3/8-inch MNPT threaded port connection with a compression tube inlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified instrumentation fitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then advance with a wrench per standard compression fitting practice — do not overtighten, as brass fittings can deform the ferrule. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads as required by the application and local code.
