Parker 1204P-2 Brass 90 Male Elbow 1/8 Mnptf 1000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 1204P-2 is a 90-degree male elbow pipe fitting machined from brass, designed for industrial fluid and gas piping systems. It features a 1/8 inch male MNPTF (Dryseal) thread and carries a maximum working pressure rating of 1,000 psi. The fitting handles a wide service temperature range, from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, and general fluid transfer lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this fitting where a 90-degree directional change is needed at a 1/8 inch male threaded port.

This elbow is well suited for residential and commercial piping applications where compact directional changes are required in tight spaces. Typical installation scenarios include hydraulic power units, pneumatic control lines, fuel delivery systems, and instrumentation plumbing. The MNPTF dryseal thread form creates a pressure-tight seal through thread engagement alone, reducing reliance on thread sealant compounds, though many installers apply sealant as standard practice for added assurance. It conforms to SAE J530 and SAE J531 standards, ensuring dimensional consistency with other SAE-compliant fittings and components.

Key Features

• 90-degree male elbow configuration for in-line directional change at a threaded port
• 1/8 inch MNPTF dryseal thread for pressure-tight engagement without relying solely on sealant
• 1,000 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Wide service temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in fuel, water, and pneumatic service
• Meets SAE J530 and SAE J531 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for industrial and commercial piping systems using 1/8 inch MNPTF threaded ports in hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, or general fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified industrial maintenance technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing any existing fitting or installing this elbow. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape to the male threads per the system fluid compatibility requirements, even though MNPTF threads are dryseal by design. Torque to fitting manufacturer and system specifications; do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is subject to thread damage under excessive force.
