The compression end grips the tube mechanically, eliminating the need for soldering or flaring, while the MNPT end threads directly into a female NPT fitting or port. Rated to 200 psi maximum working pressure and a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding fluid and gas line applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters use this type of fitting when routing copper or compatible tubing into threaded manifolds, valves, or equipment ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant-adjacent fluid lines, pneumatic systems, and fuel service applications where a direction change from tubing to a threaded connection is required. The NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on sealant tape. Typical installations include instrument tubing connections, equipment supply lines, and control line assemblies where a 90-degree transition from compression tubing to a threaded port is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and compatibility with water, air, and many fluid media\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections allow tool-free tube insertion on the compression side\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPTF thread standard provides a mechanical pressure-tight seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 200 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F suits both chilled and heated line service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-18 thread size on the male NPT end for direct fitment into standard female NPT ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/2-inch OD tubing on the compression end and 3\/8-18 NPTF female-threaded ports on the male end.

Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Ensure the tubing end is cut square and deburred before inserting into the compression end to achieve a reliable seal. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18\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: 200 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\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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-8-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539307888946,"sku":"169C-8-6","price":19.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5bd8e1b58007800c7ca4efb4a5c10409.jpg?v=1785838126","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-169c-8-6-compression-male-elbow-1-2-in-od-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
