Parker 169HD-3-2 Brass Compression Male Elbow 1/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER 169HD-3-2 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect tubing to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. It features a compression end on one side and a 1/8-inch MNPT threaded end on the other, creating a secure, leak-resistant joint without soldering or welding. Rated to 2850 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting handles demanding service conditions across a wide temperature range. Its all-brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in fluid and gas line applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation professionals routinely specify this type of fitting in both new installations and repair work.

This fitting suits residential and commercial applications where a tubing run must terminate at or transition to a male NPT threaded connection point. Typical install scenarios include instrument lines, pneumatic control circuits, refrigeration sensing lines, and hydraulic branch connections. The compression-style end accommodates standard tubing without requiring flare preparation, making field assembly straightforward. It is sold individually and is well suited to service work where a single replacement fitting is needed.

Key Features

• 90-degree male elbow configuration routes tubing runs cleanly at threaded ports
• Compression x MNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering or flaring
• 2850 psi maximum working pressure rating for high-pressure service
• Operating temperature range from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C)
• Brass construction resists corrosion in fluid and gas line service
• 1/8-inch thread size fits common instrument and control line ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for instrument, pneumatic, and fluid system applications requiring a 1/8-inch MNPT threaded connection with a compression tube inlet.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or instrumentation mechanic. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Thread the MNPT end into the port by hand first, then tighten with a wrench to avoid cross-threading; apply thread sealant or PTFE tape in accordance with the applicable plumbing or mechanical code. Seat the compression nut and ferrule squarely on the tubing before tightening to ensure a leak-free joint.
