Parker 12FEL8N-316 Compression Female Elbow 3/4 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER 12FEL8N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube female elbow designed to connect a 3/4-inch OD tube to a 1/2-14 NPT female threaded port. It transitions from a compression fitting on the tube side to a female NPT (FNPT) connection on the port side, routing tubing at a 90-degree angle. Rated to 5800 psi maximum working pressure, it handles extreme temperatures ranging from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial technicians working with stainless steel instrumentation or process tubing lines.

This elbow fitting is suited for high-pressure and high-temperature fluid or gas line applications in industrial, chemical, oil and gas, and instrumentation systems. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive-media environments and cryogenic service. It is used wherever a tube run must transition to a threaded female port connection at a 90-degree angle, including process panels, instrument manifolds, and hydraulic or pneumatic control lines.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in aggressive or cryogenic media
• 5800 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure service
• Extended temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F
• Compression x FNPT end connections for tool-free tube insertion with secure NPT port seal
• 90-degree elbow configuration for direction changes in tight plumbing runs
• 3/4-inch tube OD with 1/2-14 NPT thread size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube elbow fitting for 3/4-inch OD tubing with 1/2-14 NPT female threaded port connections in industrial and instrumentation piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or plumber following applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for pressure piping systems. Ensure the system is fully depressurized and isolated before removing or installing any compression fitting. Tube ends must be cut cleanly and deburred to ensure a leak-free compression seal. Do not over-tighten the compression nut, as stainless steel ferrules require only the manufacturer-specified number of turns past finger-tight.
