Parker 169PLP-6M-2G 90 Swivel Male Elbow Fitting 6mm Bspp

Product Description

The PARKER 169PLP-6M-2G is a push-to-connect 90-degree swivel male elbow fitting designed for tube-to-male connections in fluid and pneumatic systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease lubricant, it accepts a 6mm outside-diameter tube and threads into a 1/8 BSPP male port. The fitting is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and carries a UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating. A silver body with a yellow release button allows for quick tube insertion and removal without additional tooling. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting in compressed air, water, and light fluid-handling lines.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 90-degree directional change is needed between a push-to-connect tube line and a threaded male port. The BSPP thread type makes it appropriate for systems using British Standard Parallel Pipe fittings, common in imported equipment, OEM machinery, and certain refrigeration or pneumatic control circuits. It performs across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F, making it practical for both ambient and moderately elevated-temperature service environments.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design accepts 6mm OD tube with no ferrules or compression tools required
• 90-degree swivel elbow allows directional routing flexibility after installation
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in air and water service
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating and silicone-free grease for compatibility in sensitive environments
• Yellow release button enables fast, tool-free tube removal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for pneumatic and fluid systems requiring a 6mm OD push-to-connect tube connection at a 1/8 BSPP threaded male port.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any push-to-connect fittings. Verify thread type compatibility — BSPP is a parallel thread and requires appropriate sealing; do not mix with NPT ports. Ensure the tube end is cleanly cut, deburred, and fully seated past the collet before applying system pressure.
