It connects 1\/2 inch OD tubing on the compression side to a 3\/8 inch MNPT threaded port. The swivel feature on the male thread end simplifies installation in tight spaces or when the mating port is fixed. This fitting is used in fluid and gas plumbing systems and is typically installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or refrigeration mechanics working on copper or compatible soft tubing lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting suits residential and light commercial applications where a compression-to-male-pipe-thread transition is needed at a directional change point. Common use cases include connecting tubing to valves, manifolds, or equipment ports in HVAC systems, plumbing supply lines, and pneumatic or fluid-control installations. Its brass construction makes it appropriate for water, air, and many compatible fluid services. The swivel elbow design is particularly useful when routing tubing in constrained equipment cabinets or mechanical rooms where straight fittings cannot be rotated into position after assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwivel elbow design allows rotational adjustment at the MNPT end for easier alignment in tight installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression end accepts 1\/2 inch OD tubing without soldering or flaring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch MNPT thread connects to standard pipe-threaded ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers good corrosion resistance for water, air, and compatible fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact form factor suitable for use in confined mechanical spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style compression fitting for use with 1\/2 inch OD tubing and 3\/8 inch male NPT threaded connections in standard plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-control piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the fluid or gas line before disassembly or fitting installation. Ensure the compression nut and ferrule are seated squarely on the tubing before tightening to avoid leaks; do not overtighten the compression nut. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads as required by the service application and local code.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Swivel Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.21 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27121700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 169PS-8-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542788931890,"sku":"169PS-8-6","price":28.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/567245ae374992f812524a093976a64b.jpg?v=1785907498","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-169ps-8-6-compression-swivel-elbow-1-2-tube-3-8-mnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
