Parker 169PLP-10M-4G 90 Swivel Male Elbow Fitting 10mm

Product Description

The PARKER 169PLP-10M-4G is a 90-degree swivel male elbow push-to-connect fitting designed for tube-to-male connections in compressed air and fluid control systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease lubricant, it is rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F. The push-to-connect design allows for fast, tool-free tube insertion, while the swivel elbow configuration simplifies routing in tight spaces. The release button is color-coded yellow for quick identification during service. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on pneumatic or fluid distribution systems.

This fitting is suited for use in residential and light commercial pneumatic control lines, instrumentation tubing runs, and fluid handling systems where a 90-degree change of direction is needed at a male threaded port. The BSPP thread type makes it compatible with British Standard Parallel Pipe fittings commonly found in imported equipment and international-spec systems. The 10mm outside diameter tube connection and 1/4-inch BSPP male thread accommodate standard metric tubing used in control and automation applications.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 10mm outside diameter tubing and 1/4-inch BSPP male threaded ports. Suitable as a direct-fit push-to-connect elbow in pneumatic control, instrumentation, and fluid distribution systems specifying BSPP thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or HVAC technician familiar with pneumatic or fluid system assembly. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before insertion into the push-to-connect port, as irregular tube ends can compromise the seal. Verify that the thread type of the mating port is BSPP before installation, as BSPP and NPT threads are not interchangeable.
