Parker 169PTCNS-3-2 90 Male Elbow 3/16 Od 1/8 Npt Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 169PTCNS-3-2 is a push-to-connect rigid 90-degree male elbow tube fitting designed for D.O.T.-compliant air brake systems. It connects a 3/16-inch OD tube to a 1/8-inch male NPT port, allowing a right-angle transition without additional tools for the tube end. Constructed from brass, this fitting is rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The nitrile O-ring provides a reliable seal at the tube connection. It is installed by technicians working on commercial vehicle air brake lines and pneumatic plumbing in demanding mobile or stationary environments.

This fitting is suited for air brake plumbing on commercial trucks, trailers, and buses where D.O.T. FMVSS 571.106 compliance is required. It is also applicable to pneumatic control circuits that use 3/16-inch OD tubing terminating at a 1/8-inch NPT threaded port. Typical install scenarios include routing brake lines through tight chassis spaces where a 90-degree directional change is needed without bending the tubing. The push-to-connect tube end simplifies assembly and allows field removal with standard disconnect tooling.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube end accepts 3/16-inch OD tubing without ferrules or compression sleeves
• 1/8-inch male NPT thread for direct port connection
• Rigid 90-degree elbow geometry for right-angle routing in confined spaces
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in air brake and pneumatic service
• Nitrile O-ring seal at tube interface for reliable retention and leak resistance
• Rated to 250 psi and compliant with D.O.T. FMVSS 571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844

Compatibility

Designed as a D.O.T. air brake fitting for pneumatic systems using 3/16-inch OD tubing and 1/8-inch NPT ports, compliant with D.O.T. FMVSS 571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified technicians working on vehicle air brake or pneumatic systems. Depressurize the air system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Thread the NPT end into the port by hand first, then tighten with a wrench to avoid cross-threading; apply thread sealant appropriate for pneumatic service. Insert the tubing firmly into the push-to-connect end until it seats, and verify retention by pulling back on the tube before re-pressurizing the system.
