Parker 169CA-16-12 Compression Male Elbow 1 in Od Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 169CA-16-12 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect 1-inch OD tubing to a male NPT threaded port in a 90-degree configuration. With a 3/4-14 NPTF thread and a compression-style tube connection, this fitting creates a leak-resistant seal without the need for flaring or soldering. It is rated for working pressures up to 350 psi and a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it well suited for fluid and pneumatic systems in demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting in hydraulic, pneumatic, and process piping applications.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid-handling systems where a 1-inch OD tube must transition to a 3/4-14 male NPT connection at a right angle. The compression end accepts standard tubing without soldering, making it a practical choice for tight spaces or installations where heat cannot be applied. It is appropriate for use with compatible tubing materials rated within the fitting's pressure and temperature limits.

Key Features

• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tube-to-pipe transitions without soldering or flaring
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water, air, and light fluid service
• 1-inch tube OD with 3/4-14 NPTF thread for secure, leak-resistant engagement
• Rated to 350 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide service temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• 90-degree male elbow configuration for directional routing in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for use with 1-inch OD tubing and 3/4-14 NPTF male threaded ports in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Ensure the tubing end is cut square, deburred, and clean before seating it into the compression nut. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can distort the ferrule and compromise the seal.
