Parker 169PLP-5/32-2 90 Swivel Male Elbow 5/32 Od

Product Description

The PARKER 169PLP-5/32-2 is a push-to-connect 90-degree swivel male elbow fitting designed for tube-to-male threaded connections in compressed air, pneumatic control, and fluid transfer systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it accepts 5/32-inch outside-diameter tubing on the push-to-connect end and threads into a 1/8-inch NPTF male port on the swivel end. The fitting is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The release button is made from black flame-resistant material that meets UL94 V-0 standards. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic system installers use this fitting for quick, tool-free tube connections in tight-space 90-degree routing applications.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic control lines, refrigeration equipment, and compressed-air instrumentation where a 90-degree direction change is required at a male-threaded port. It is commonly installed in HVAC controls, pneumatic actuators, and low-volume fluid circuits that require a reliable push-to-connect interface at a 1/8-inch NPTF male thread. The swivel feature allows the fitting body to rotate after installation, simplifying tube routing and reducing stress on the tubing.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and release via UL94 V-0 rated flame-resistant button
• Nickel-plated brass construction provides corrosion resistance in humid or condensing environments
• Swivel male end rotates after installation for easier tube alignment and routing
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• 1/8-inch NPTF thread provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without additional sealant tape on compliant ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for pneumatic control, compressed-air, and fluid-transfer systems that use 5/32-inch OD tubing and 1/8-inch NPTF male-threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, instrumentation technicians, or plumbers. Before servicing any pneumatic or compressed-air line, depressurize the system completely and verify zero pressure before disconnecting or inserting fittings. Ensure tubing is cut square and deburred before insertion into the push-to-connect end to achieve a full, leak-free seat. Thread the NPTF male end into the mating port by hand first, then tighten with an appropriately sized wrench, taking care not to overtighten and crack the fitting body.
