Parker 165PLP-12M Push-to-connect Union Elbow 90 Degree

Product Description

The PARKER 165PLP-12M is a push-to-connect tube-to-tube union elbow fitting designed for fast, tool-free connections in pneumatic and fluid control systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease formulation, it accepts 12mm outside diameter tubing and handles working pressures up to 300 psi. The silver body with yellow release button allows quick tube insertion and straightforward disconnection without additional tooling. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation technicians install this fitting in applications where a 90-degree direction change is required in a tube run.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic systems, HVAC controls, and compressed air distribution lines where a compact 90-degree elbow connection is needed. The push-to-connect design reduces installation time compared to threaded or compression-style fittings. It is rated for temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F, making it appropriate for indoor climate control and instrumentation environments. Both ports accept 12mm OD tubing, enabling a straight tube-to-tube union at a right angle.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and release via yellow button
• Nickel-plated brass construction with silicone-free grease for broad system compatibility
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Meets UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard
• Compact 90-degree elbow geometry for tight-space tube routing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement elbow fitting for pneumatic and fluid control tube runs using 12mm outside diameter tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by depressurizing and bleeding the system before making or breaking any tube connections. Insert tubing fully until it seats to ensure a leak-free connection; confirm full insertion before returning the system to pressure. To disconnect, depress the yellow release button and withdraw the tube. Follow applicable pneumatic system codes and verify the fitting material and pressure rating are compatible with the media and system operating conditions before installation.
