Parker 170CA-3-2 Compression Tube Female Elbow Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 170CA-3-2 is a brass compression tube female elbow fitting designed to connect a compression tube line to a female NPT port in a 90-degree configuration. It features a 1/8-27 NPTF thread and accepts a compression-style tube end, making it a standard choice for instrument, pneumatic, and fluid system assemblies. The fitting is rated to 1900 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. It is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation technicians working on compressed air, gas, or liquid lines where a directional change and threaded port connection are required.

This elbow fitting is suited for residential and commercial applications where tubing must transition to a female threaded port at a right angle. Typical install scenarios include instrument panels, control line assemblies, refrigeration accessory circuits, and pneumatic control systems. The compression end eliminates the need for soldering or flaring on the tube side, speeding up field assembly and reducing leak points.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in fluid and gas systems
• Compression x FNPT end connections for tool-free tube attachment on the compression side
• 1/8-27 NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight seal at the female threaded port
• 1900 psi maximum working pressure rated for demanding compressed-fluid applications
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• 90-degree elbow geometry allows directional routing in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/8-27 NPTF female threaded ports with compression tube connections in plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

Install by a licensed plumber or qualified technician in accordance with applicable IPC and system-specific codes. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut and then tighten with an appropriate wrench to achieve a secure, leak-free connection without over-torquing the brass body. Verify thread engagement and test the assembly at working pressure before returning the system to service.
