Parker 169C-12-12 Compression Male Elbow 3/4-14 Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER 169C-12-12 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect compression tubing to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. It transitions from a compression-style tube end to a 3/4-14 NPTF male thread, providing a reliable, leak-resistant joint in fluid and pneumatic line installations. The fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 100 psi and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Constructed from brass, it resists corrosion in a wide range of service environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use this fitting when routing tubing to threaded ports on equipment, valves, or manifolds.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications where a compression tube must terminate at a male NPT connection point. The 90-degree elbow configuration is used when a straight fitting cannot clear adjacent components or when a line direction change is required at the connection. The NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal. Package quantity is one fitting per unit.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in plumbing and fluid-handling environments
• 3/4-14 NPTF male thread provides a pressure-tight seal without relying solely on thread sealant
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tube-to-pipe transitions without soldering or flaring
• Rated to 100 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• 90-degree elbow geometry for directional changes in tight installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-system installations requiring a 3/4-14 NPTF male threaded outlet and a compression tube inlet.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Ensure the compression ferrule is seated correctly on the tubing before tightening the compression nut — do not overtighten, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPTF male threads as required by applicable plumbing codes and the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
