Parker 165PLP-6 Push-to-connect Union Elbow 3/8 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER 165PLP-6 is a push-to-connect union elbow tube fitting designed for tube-to-tube connections in pneumatic and fluid transfer systems. Built from nickel-plated brass with a nitrile O-ring, it delivers a rated working pressure of 300 psi and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion for fast, reliable field connections. The release button is a black, flame-resistant material rated to the UL94 V-0 standard, making it suitable for installations where flame resistance is required. This fitting is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals working with 3/8-inch OD tubing.

The PARKER 165PLP-6 is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic lines, refrigeration ancillary tubing runs, and compressed air distribution where a 90-degree direction change is needed. Its nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in typical mechanical room environments. The push-to-connect mechanism speeds up connections on service calls or new installations where repeated tube insertion and removal may be required. Any application requiring a tube-to-tube elbow at 3/8-inch OD with moderate pressure ratings is a typical use case for this fitting.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and release
• Nickel-plated brass body for corrosion resistance
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Black flame-resistant release button compliant with UL94 V-0 standard
• Nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal across the operating range

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch OD tubing in push-to-connect tube-to-tube elbow applications across pneumatic, compressed air, and fluid transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tools — cut tubing cleanly and squarely, deburr the end, and insert fully until it seats against the fitting stop. Depressurize and isolate the line before connecting or disconnecting the fitting. Inspect the tube end for nicks or ovality before insertion, as damaged tube ends can compromise the O-ring seal. This fitting is appropriate for technicians working under applicable mechanical and plumbing codes governing pneumatic and fluid lines.
