Parker 10MSEL8N-B Compression Male Elbow 1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 10MSEL8N-B is a 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. Constructed from brass, this fitting handles up to 2000 psi working pressure, making it well suited for hydraulic, pneumatic, instrumentation, and fluid-transfer lines where a reliable, leak-free joint is required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications where a tube-to-pipe transition is needed at a corner or bend point.

This fitting is appropriate for systems that use compression-style tubing connections on one end and require a male NPT pipe thread interface on the other. Common install scenarios include instrument tubing manifolds, compressed air distribution, refrigeration sensing lines, and hydraulic control circuits. The 1/2 inch thread size fits standard half-inch NPT pipe ports. The compression end accepts compatible tubing without soldering or flaring, which speeds up installation and simplifies future service.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in fluid and gas service
• 2000 psi maximum working pressure suits demanding pneumatic and hydraulic applications
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tube-to-pipe transitions without soldering or flaring
• 1/2 inch MPT thread size matches standard half-inch NPT pipe ports
• 90-degree male elbow configuration enables directional changes in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for use in systems requiring a 1/2 inch MPT connection with a compression tube inlet. Cross-references to Swagelok part number B-1010-2-8 where applicable.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or instrumentation technicians. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembling any fitting. Compression fittings require proper tube insertion to the stop and correct ferrule seating before tightening the compression nut. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads in accordance with applicable plumbing or mechanical codes before making up the joint.
