Parker 169PTCNS-5/32-2 90 Male Elbow 5/32 Od 1/8 Npt Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 169PTCNS-5/32-2 is a push-to-connect rigid 90-degree male elbow tube fitting designed for DOT-compliant air brake systems. Constructed from brass with a nitrile O-ring, it connects 5/32-inch OD tubing to a 1/8-inch male NPT port in a single right-angle configuration. The push-to-connect interface allows fast, tool-free tube insertion while the male NPT end threads directly into a port or manifold. Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting handles the demands of mobile equipment and commercial vehicle brake circuits. Temperature range runs from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, making it suitable for under-hood and chassis environments.

This fitting is specified for DOT air brake applications on trucks, trailers, and other commercial vehicles subject to FMVSS 571.106 and SAE J844 requirements. It suits anywhere a technician needs to transition from a push-connect tube run to a threaded port at a 90-degree angle without fabricating a custom line. Fleet maintenance shops and mobile equipment technicians commonly install this fitting during brake system repairs, line rerouting, or OEM-style replacements on pneumatic control circuits.

Key Features

• Rigid 90-degree male elbow routes tubing at a right angle to a 1/8-inch NPT threaded port
• Brass construction with nitrile O-ring for corrosion resistance and reliable sealing
• Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure
• DOT-compliant — meets FMVSS 571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards
• Wide service temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for DOT air brake pneumatic systems using 5/32-inch OD tubing with 1/8-inch NPT ported components, per SAE J844 and FMVSS 571.106 requirements.

Installation Notes

Depressurize the air brake system completely and verify zero system pressure before removing or installing any fittings. Thread the NPT male end into the port by hand first, then tighten with a wrench to avoid cross-threading; apply thread sealant appropriate for pneumatic brake service per shop standards. Insert tubing fully into the push-connect collet until it seats, then tug back gently to confirm lock. DOT air brake work on commercial vehicles must comply with applicable Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations and any state-level inspection requirements.
