Parker 165PTC-8 Push-to-connect Union Elbow 1/2 in Od Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 165PTC-8 is a push-to-connect tube-to-tube union elbow fitting designed for air brake and pneumatic plumbing systems. Constructed from brass with a nitrile O-ring, it provides a secure 90-degree directional change in tubing runs without tools or thread sealant. Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure and certified to D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards, this fitting is built for demanding mobile and stationary air brake applications. It accepts 1/2 inch OD tubing on both ports and operates across a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F.

The 165PTC-8 is suited for residential and commercial vehicle air brake systems, pneumatic control lines, and compressed air distribution plumbing. Its D.O.T.-rated construction makes it appropriate for use in federally regulated air brake circuits on trucks, trailers, and buses. Plumbers, fleet mechanics, and pneumatic system technicians install this fitting where a reliable, tool-free tube connection with a directional change is needed in a confined or hard-to-reach space.

Compatibility

Designed as a D.O.T.-rated push-to-connect replacement or new-install union elbow for air brake and pneumatic tubing systems using 1/2 inch OD tubing.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and drain the air brake or pneumatic system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and is free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect port. This fitting is intended for installation by qualified mechanics or technicians familiar with D.O.T. air brake system requirements. Verify that the tubing material and OD are compatible with push-to-connect fittings before final assembly.
