Parker 169HD-5-2 Compression Male Elbow 1/8 Inch Mnpt

Product Description

The PARKER 169HD-5-2 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed for hydraulic and pneumatic tubing connections in industrial and trade applications. It joins a compression-style tube end to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle, making it well suited for routing tubing in tight spaces where straight fittings will not work. The fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1800 psi and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 121 degrees C, giving it a broad service range across fluid and gas systems. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance mechanics are the typical installers.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigeration lines, instrumentation, and light industrial fluid-transfer systems where a compression-to-MNPT transition is required. The 1/8 inch thread size suits instrument ports, control valves, pressure gauges, and small-bore tubing circuits. Its all-brass construction makes it appropriate for water, air, oil, and compatible gas service in both indoor and protected outdoor installations.

Key Features

• 90-degree male elbow configuration allows directional routing without bending tubing
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-assisted, leak-resistant assembly
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance across a wide range of media
• Rated to 1800 psi maximum working pressure for demanding service environments
• Operating range of -65 degrees F to approximately 250 degrees F suits most HVAC and plumbing applications
• 1/8 inch MPT thread size fits common instrument and gauge ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tube to male NPT threaded connections in plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation systems requiring a 1/8 inch MNPT port.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified industrial mechanic. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling any existing fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads in accordance with local plumbing codes; do not over-tighten, as brass threads can be damaged. Verify that the tubing is cut cleanly and deburred before seating it in the compression end to ensure a leak-free joint.
