Parker 169PTCNS-10-6 90 Male Elbow Fitting 5/8 Od Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 169PTCNS-10-6 is a push-to-connect rigid 90-degree male elbow tube fitting designed for air brake and pneumatic plumbing systems. Constructed from brass, it provides a Tube x MNPT x Tube x Male connection configuration, joining 5/8 inch OD tubing to a 3/8 inch NPTF male thread with a 90-degree change in direction. Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure, it operates reliably across a temperature range of -40 to 200 degrees F. The nitrile O-ring provides a secure, leak-resistant seal. Licensed technicians and fleet mechanics working on DOT-compliant air brake circuits rely on this fitting for durable, repeatable connections.

This fitting is designed for use in DOT air brake plumbing applications on commercial vehicles and trailers. It is compliant with DOT FMVSS 571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844, making it appropriate for regulated air brake circuit assemblies. The push-to-connect design speeds installation in tight engine compartments or frame-rail routing where wrenching a traditional compression fitting is difficult. Typical applications include connecting nylon or polyamide air brake tubing to manifold ports, valve bodies, or relay valve outlets where a directional 90-degree turn is needed.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design for fast, tool-free tube insertion
• Rigid 90-degree male elbow for directional routing in air brake circuits
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• 250 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Nitrile O-ring seal for reliable, leak-resistant performance
• DOT FMVSS 571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 compliant

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/8 inch OD air brake tubing systems requiring a 3/8 inch NPTF male port connection. Intended for DOT-regulated air brake applications on commercial vehicles and trailers where SAE J844 tubing is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with DOT air brake system requirements. Depressurize the air brake system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the tube end is free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect collet. Verify NPTF thread engagement is proper and inspect for leaks at system operating pressure before returning the vehicle to service.
