Parker 165PLP-5 Union Elbow Tube Fitting 5/16 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER 165PLP-5 is a push-to-connect union elbow tube fitting designed for tube-to-tube connections in fluid and pneumatic systems. It accepts 5/16-inch outside diameter tubing and delivers a rated maximum working pressure of 300 psi. The body is constructed from nickel-plated brass, offering corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. The integral release button is made from a black, flame-resistant material rated to UL94 V-0, making it suitable for applications where fire-resistance compliance is required. Nitrile O-rings provide a reliable seal across a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F. This fitting is typically installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals.

The 165PLP-5 is suited for residential and light commercial systems where a 90-degree directional change in tubing runs is needed without soldering or flaring. Its push-to-connect design allows for fast, tool-free tube insertion and a secure, leak-resistant seal. The UL94 V-0 compliant button material makes it appropriate for use in enclosures or applications with flame-resistance requirements. Typical install scenarios include refrigeration tubing, pneumatic control lines, and fluid transfer assemblies where quick assembly and serviceability are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician following applicable system and site codes. Before servicing any connected line, relieve system pressure and isolate the circuit. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before insertion into the fitting to achieve a proper seal. Do not exceed the rated working pressure or temperature limits stated for this fitting.
