Parker 169PLP-8M-6G 90 Swivel Male Elbow Fitting 8mm

Product Description

The PARKER 169PLP-8M-6G is a push-to-connect 90-degree swivel male elbow fitting designed for tube-to-male connections in pneumatic and fluid systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silicone-free grease formulation, it accepts an 8mm outside diameter tube on the push-to-connect end and terminates in a BSPP male thread. Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure, the fitting handles service temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The yellow release button allows tool-free tube removal and reconnection, making it practical for maintenance-heavy installations. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial service professionals typically work with this fitting in compressed air, fluid control, and instrument tubing applications.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 90-degree directional change is required in a push-to-connect tube run. The BSPP male thread end is compatible with metric-threaded port equipment and European-standard fittings. The nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in damp service environments. The UL94 V-0 flame resistance rating on internal components makes it appropriate for installations where fire-rated materials are specified. Installers working with 8mm OD flexible or semi-rigid tubing will find this fitting useful in tight-space or panel-mount scenarios where a hard 90-degree exit is needed.

Key Features

• 90-degree swivel male elbow allows directional routing without additional adapters
• Nickel-plated brass construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or damp environments
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard compliance on internal components
• Silicone-free grease — compatible with systems where silicone contamination is a concern

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for pneumatic and fluid control systems using 8mm OD tubing and BSPP male-threaded ports. Specific model compatibility was not provided; verify thread type and tube OD before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or industrial mechanics depending on the system type. Always depressurize and isolate the line before disconnecting or installing push-to-connect fittings. Confirm the tubing outside diameter is 8mm and that the receiving port is BSPP-threaded before seating the fitting. Refer to applicable codes such as the IPC or equipment manufacturer specifications for pressure system assembly requirements.
