Manufactured from brass, it handles working pressures up to 1400 psi and temperatures ranging from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. The compression end provides a leak-resistant mechanical seal on the tube, while the 1\/4-18 MNPT threaded end mates directly to standard NPTF-tapped ports. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies requiring a reliable directional change at a threaded connection point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elbow fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a compression tube must transition to a male NPT port at a right angle. Typical uses include instrument tubing connections, control line assemblies, and hydraulic or pneumatic systems operating within the rated pressure and temperature envelope. The NPTF thread standard ensures a dry-seal connection without relying solely on thread sealant, making it appropriate for both gas and liquid service lines where joint integrity is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and pneumatic service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-18 NPTF male thread provides a dry-seal mechanical connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 1400 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections allow direct tube-to-port installation without additional adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e90-degree male elbow geometry directs tubing runs cleanly away from threaded port faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for fluid and pneumatic systems requiring a 1\/4-18 NPTF threaded port connection with a compression tube end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified plumber, HVAC technician, or pipefitter. De-energize and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tube before applying wrench torque to avoid cross-threading. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads per applicable plumbing or mechanical codes, noting that NPTF threads are designed for reduced-sealant service but sealant is still commonly used in field practice.\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\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-18\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: 1400 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: 169CA-4-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541524382002,"sku":"169CA-4-4","price":20.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7e0ca26cf4a4080579ef37142e94a817.jpg?v=1785878303","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-169ca-4-4-compression-male-elbow-brass-1-4-18","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
