Parker 1204P-4 Brass 90 Male Elbow 1/4 Inch Mnptf

Product Description

The PARKER 1204P-4 is a 90-degree male elbow pipe fitting designed for industrial fluid and pneumatic systems requiring a reliable directional change in line routing. Constructed from brass, this fitting accepts 1/4 inch male MNPTF (Dryseal) threads and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1,000 psi. The operating temperature range spans from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a broad range of service conditions. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians commonly install this type of fitting in compressed air, hydraulic, and process fluid applications.

This fitting is used in both commercial and industrial settings where a 90-degree change of direction is required at a male-threaded port. Typical applications include compressed air distribution manifolds, hydraulic control lines, lubrication systems, and general-purpose fluid transfer lines. The MNPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight seal without the need for additional sealant compounds in many configurations, though practices vary by application and system requirements.

Key Features

• 90-degree male elbow configuration for directional line changes at threaded ports
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance in air, water, and many fluid service environments
• 1/4 inch MNPTF thread provides a dryseal pressure-tight connection
• Rated to 1,000 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Meets SAE J530 and SAE J531 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for industrial piping systems using 1/4 inch MNPTF male threaded connections in compressed air, hydraulic, and fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or licensed plumber in accordance with applicable system codes and the equipment manufacturer's specifications. Shut down and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. MNPTF dryseal threads are designed to seal on the thread form itself — inspect threads for damage before assembly and do not overtighten, as brass fittings are susceptible to cracking under excessive torque. Verify the fitting material is compatible with the fluid media in the system prior to installation.
