Parker 169HD-10-6 Compression Male Elbow 3/8 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 169HD-10-6 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect tubing to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. It accepts a compression-style tube end on one side and threads into a female NPT port on the other, creating a secure, leak-resistant joint without soldering or flaring. Rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is built for demanding service in fluid and gas handling systems. The brass construction resists corrosion and holds up in a wide range of media. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This male elbow is suited for installations where tubing must transition to a threaded port at a right angle and inline space is limited. The 3/8-inch thread size makes it a common choice for instrument lines, fuel lines, refrigeration service connections, and plumbing distribution runs. The compression-by-MNPT end configuration eliminates the need for solder, making it practical for field repairs and retrofits where open flame is not permitted or practical.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance across a broad range of fluids and gases
• Rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure for demanding fluid and gas service
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow toolless tube engagement on the compression side
• 90-degree male elbow geometry routes tubing cleanly into threaded ports in tight spaces
• 3/8-inch thread size covers a wide range of common plumbing and instrument connections
• No soldering or flaring required, suitable for field installation and repair

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and aftermarket replacement compression tube male elbow for systems using 3/8-inch MPT threaded ports with compression tube connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut before applying a final turn with a wrench to avoid over-tightening, which can distort the ferrule and cause leaks. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the MNPT threads in accordance with local plumbing codes before threading into the port.
