Parker 169C-8-8 Compression Male Elbow 1/2-14 Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 169C-8-8 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect 1/2-inch OD tubing to a 1/2-14 NPTF male threaded port at a 90-degree angle. It provides a reliable, leak-resistant transition between compression and male NPT connections in fluid and pneumatic line applications. Rated to 200 psi maximum working pressure and capable of handling temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting suits demanding service conditions. It is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters working on hydraulic, pneumatic, or fluid transfer systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant-adjacent fluid lines, and industrial fluid transfer applications where a 90-degree directional change is required between a compression tube and an NPT threaded port. Its brass construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments. The Compression x MNPT end configuration allows quick integration into existing threaded pipe systems without specialized tooling beyond standard hand wrenches.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in fluid service
• Compression x MNPT end connections for versatile tube-to-pipe transitions
• 1/2-14 NPTF thread standard for pressure-tight sealing without additional sealant tape in many applications
• 1/2-inch tube outside diameter compatibility
• Rated to 200 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide operating temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for use with 1/2-inch OD tubing and 1/2-14 NPTF male threaded ports in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the fluid line completely before disassembly or installation. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and deburred before inserting into the compression fitting to achieve a proper seal. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can damage the ferrule and compromise the connection integrity.
