It features a compression end for 5\/16-inch outside diameter tubing and a 1\/4-18 NPTF male threaded end. Rated to 1200 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting handles a wide temperature range from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. It is suited for hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, and instrumentation lines where a leak-resistant, vibration-tolerant compression connection is required. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial piping mechanics are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications where copper, brass, or compatible tubing must transition to a threaded port at a change of direction. Typical installations include instrumentation panels, refrigeration line sets, fuel delivery systems, hydraulic control circuits, and compressed air distribution lines. The compression-style end eliminates the need for soldering or flaring at the tubing connection, making it practical for field repairs and tight-space installations where torch work is not feasible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections allow tubing to thread-port transitions without soldering or flaring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with water, oil, air, and many fuel media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 1200 psi maximum working pressure for demanding service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F suits refrigeration and high-temperature fluid lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-18 NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight, dryseal connection without sealant tape dependency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch tube OD compression end for secure, tool-tightened tube retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression male elbow fitting for systems using 5\/16-inch OD tubing with 1\/4-18 NPTF male threaded port connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified piping mechanic familiar with compression fittings and NPT threaded connections. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembly or installation. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then advance with a wrench per standard compression fitting practice — do not overtighten, as brass compression fittings can crack if over-torqued. Verify the NPTF threaded end seals properly on assembly; apply thread sealant as required by the applicable plumbing or mechanical code.\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: 5\/16 inches\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: 1200 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-5-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542702948658,"sku":"169CA-5-4","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/68a7da76205dd8ecf91ea4bb2057ac18.jpg?v=1785904784","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-169ca-5-4-compression-male-elbow-brass-5-16-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
