Parker 169HD-6-4 Compression Male Elbow 1/4 in Mnpt

Product Description

The PARKER 169HD-6-4 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to create a secure, leak-free connection between compression tubing and a male NPT threaded port. The fitting transitions from a compression-style tube end to a 1/4-inch MNPT thread, making it well-suited for routing tubing at a 90-degree angle into threaded ports on valves, manifolds, or equipment panels. Rated to 1500 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is built for demanding service environments. It is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics working on fluid or gas distribution systems.

This male elbow fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications where tubing must change direction and terminate at a threaded male connection. Common install scenarios include instrument lines, control lines, fuel gas systems, hydraulic circuits, and pneumatic distribution. The compression end accepts standard tubing, while the MNPT end threads directly into a female-threaded port. Its all-brass construction makes it appropriate for use with air, water, oil, and many compatible gas media.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry routes tubing into tight or angled installations
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow direct tube-to-thread transitions without adapters
• 1/4-inch thread size fits standard NPT female ports on valves and fittings
• 1500 psi maximum working pressure suits high-demand fluid and gas service
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability across a wide range of compatible media

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for use in plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and pneumatic systems utilizing standard 1/4-inch MNPT threaded connections and compatible compression tubing.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the intended media. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely, and that the compression ferrule and nut are properly seated before tightening. Do not over-tighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
