Parker 169HD-6-8 Compression Male Elbow 1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 169HD-6-8 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to create a 90-degree directional change in a compression tube-to-threaded pipe connection. One end accepts a compression tube connection and the other end terminates in a 1/2-inch male NPT thread. Built from brass, it is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1500 psi, making it suitable for demanding fluid and gas line service. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this fitting where a tube run must transition to a threaded male port at a right angle. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing in both water and compatible gas or refrigerant line applications.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation systems where a compression tube must connect to a 1/2-inch MNPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. Typical applications include copper or compatible soft tubing connections to valves, manifolds, or equipment ports that require a male NPT interface. It is sold individually and is appropriate for new installations and replacement service work.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in fluid and gas service
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tube-to-threaded-port transitions
• 1/2-inch male NPT thread on the pipe end
• Rated for up to 1500 psi maximum working pressure
• 90-degree male elbow configuration for directional changes in tubing runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression tube male elbow for systems requiring a 1/2-inch MNPT threaded port connection with a compression tube end in plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off the water or fluid supply and depressurize the line fully before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely and is fully seated before tightening the compression nut to achieve a leak-free seal.
