It transitions between a compression-style tube connection and a 1\/8-27 male National Pipe Taper Fuel thread, making it suitable for plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation applications where a leak-tight directional change is needed. Rated to 1900 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting handles operating temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation mechanics install this type of fitting in copper or compatible soft-metal tubing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis elbow fitting is used in residential and light commercial systems where tubing must change direction at a threaded port. Typical applications include refrigeration lines, pneumatic control circuits, fuel delivery systems, and instrument sensing lines. The compression-by-MNPT configuration allows the fitting to thread directly into a tapped port or valve body while securing the tube on the compression side without soldering or flaring. It is sold and packaged as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and reliable sealing in fluid and pneumatic systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering or flaring on the tube side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1900 psi maximum working pressure rating suits demanding hydraulic and pneumatic service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F covers most HVAC and instrumentation environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8-27 NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal at the male threaded end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/16-inch tube OD compression connection for precise, repeatable tube retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 3\/16-inch OD compression tubing systems using 1\/8-27 NPTF male threaded ports in plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified instrumentation mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Ensure the tube end is cut square, deburred, and fully seated before tightening the compression nut. Follow applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC when integrating into fuel or fluid piping systems.\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\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8-27\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: 1900 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: 169CA-3-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541742977330,"sku":"169CA-3-2","price":15.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e3b8d9c42df72f710cd5b1d0a47fb065.jpg?v=1785883694","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-169ca-3-2-compression-male-elbow-3-16-od-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
