Parker 165PTC-10 Push-to-connect Union Elbow 5/8 Inch Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 165PTC-10 is a push-to-connect tube-to-tube union elbow fitting designed for air brake and pneumatic plumbing systems. Constructed from brass, it provides a secure 90-degree connection between two tube ends without requiring tools or ferrules. The fitting is rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure and carries D.O.T. certification for use in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard air brake applications. It accepts 5/8 inch OD tubing on both ports and uses a nitrile O-ring seal. Licensed plumbers, fleet mechanics, and pneumatic systems technicians install this type of fitting in vehicle air brake lines and industrial compressed-air plumbing.

The 165PTC-10 is suited for air brake plumbing on commercial vehicles and trailer systems where D.O.T.-compliant fittings are required. It is also applicable in general industrial pneumatic tubing assemblies operating within its rated pressure and temperature range. The push-to-connect design speeds up installation and allows for straightforward servicing when lines need to be disconnected and reconnected. Both ports accept the same 5/8 inch OD tube size, making this a symmetric union elbow for in-line directional changes.

• Accepts 5/8 inch OD tubing on both ports for a symmetric union elbow connection

Compatibility

Designed as a D.O.T.-compliant push-to-connect air brake fitting for commercial vehicle air brake lines and industrial pneumatic tubing systems using 5/8 inch OD tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation and service of D.O.T. air brake fittings should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards and SAE air brake plumbing requirements. Fully depressurize the air brake system and verify zero system pressure before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Insert tubing straight and fully to the tube stop to ensure proper engagement of the push-to-connect collet and O-ring seal. After installation, pressurize the system and check all connections for leaks before returning the vehicle or equipment to service.
