Parker 169PTCNS-10-8 90 Male Elbow 5/8 Od 1/2 Nptf Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 169PTCNS-10-8 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-to-MNPT-to-tube male connection in a 90-degree elbow configuration. The fitting accepts 5/8 inch OD tubing on the push-to-connect ends and threads into a 1/2 inch NPTF port. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 250 psi and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. A nitrile O-ring provides reliable sealing across the operating range. Licensed HVAC technicians, diesel mechanics, and fleet maintenance professionals install this class of fitting in DOT-compliant air brake circuits.

This fitting is classified as a D.O.T. air brake fitting and meets FMVSS 571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards. It is suited for commercial vehicle air brake lines, pneumatic control circuits, and compressed-air plumbing where a rigid 90-degree directional change is required at a male NPT port. The brass construction makes it appropriate for dry or lubricated air service in both mobile and stationary applications operating within the rated temperature and pressure limits.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design on tube ends for fast, tool-free tube insertion
• Rigid 90-degree male elbow configuration for in-line directional routing at an NPT port
• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance in air and pneumatic service
• Nitrile O-ring sealing for reliable performance across -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• 250 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS 571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a DOT-compliant air brake fitting for use in commercial vehicle and pneumatic systems requiring a 5/8 inch OD push-to-connect tube connection at a 1/2 inch NPTF male port. Verify system pressure, temperature, and fluid compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with DOT air brake system requirements and applicable SAE and FMVSS regulations. Depressurize and lock out the air system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure NPTF threads are clean and undamaged before threading the fitting into the port; NPTF connections rely on thread-form sealing and do not require tape or compound in most applications, but follow the equipment manufacturer guidance. Push tubing firmly into the connect end until it seats fully, and pull back to confirm retention before returning the system to service.
