It features a 3\/8-18 NPTF thread on the male end and a compression-style connection on the tube end, making it suitable for use in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid transfer systems. Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and capable of handling temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is well suited for plumbing, refrigeration, and instrumentation line installations where a tube-to-pipe-thread elbow connection is required. The compression end eliminates the need for soldering or flaring, allowing for a secure, leak-resistant connection without heat. It is a standard choice when routing tubing into a threaded port at a right angle in tight or confined spaces. The NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight seal at the thread interface, reducing reliance on thread sealant compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-18 NPTF male thread for a pressure-tight threaded connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end configuration — no soldering or flaring required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300 psi maximum working pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90-degree elbow geometry for routing tubing at a right angle to a threaded port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for compression tube-to-male NPT elbow applications in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid transfer systems using 3\/8-18 NPTF threaded ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut and then snug with a wrench — avoid overtightening, which can crack the ferrule or distort the tube end. Inspect the tube end for squareness and burrs before seating in the compression fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 300 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 169C-5-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542238658866,"sku":"169C-5-6","price":25.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/84064d505f68573e9f023a4c5ce1b7ab.jpg?v=1785896055","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-169c-5-6-brass-compression-male-elbow-3-8-18-nptf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
