Parker 169PTCNS-4-4 Brass 90 Male Elbow Fitting 1/4 in Od Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER 169PTCNS-4-4 is a push-to-connect brass rigid 90-degree male elbow tube fitting designed for air brake and pneumatic plumbing systems. It connects a 1/4 inch OD tube to a 1/4 inch male NPTF port in a right-angle configuration, allowing direction changes in hard-line tubing runs without additional fabrication. Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure and approved as a D.O.T. air brake fitting, it meets SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, SAE J844, and D.O.T. FMVSS 571.106 standards. Installation is handled by fleet maintenance technicians, heavy equipment mechanics, and experienced plumbing or pneumatic system installers working on compressed-air or brake-line applications.

This fitting is suited for use in commercial vehicle air brake systems, pneumatic control lines, and compressed-air distribution plumbing where a rigid 90-degree direction change is required at an NPT port. The push-to-connect design accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing and uses a nitrile O-ring seal for a leak-resistant connection. Its brass construction and D.O.T. certification make it appropriate for both mobile and stationary compressed-air service within its rated temperature and pressure limits.

Key Features

• D.O.T.-certified air brake fitting meeting FMVSS 571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards
• 250 psi maximum working pressure for compressed-air and air brake plumbing
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in pneumatic service environments
• Push-to-connect design for fast, tool-assisted tube insertion and secure retention
• Nitrile O-ring seal for reliable air-tight performance across the rated temperature range
• Rated from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F for broad service flexibility

Compatibility

Designed as a D.O.T.-compliant air brake fitting for commercial vehicle and pneumatic system plumbing that uses 1/4 inch OD tubing terminated at a 1/4 inch NPTF male port connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified fleet mechanics or pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and lock out the air system completely before removing or installing any air brake fittings. Verify the receiving NPT port threads are clean and in good condition before seating the fitting. Follow all applicable D.O.T. regulations and vehicle manufacturer service procedures when servicing air brake system components.
