Parker 179CA-6-2 Male 45 Elbow Compression X Mnpt Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 179CA-6-2 is a brass male 45-degree elbow fitting designed to connect compression tubing to a male NPTF threaded port. It features a 1/8-27 thread size and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1000 psi. The operating temperature range runs from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of fluid and gas line applications. This fitting is sold individually and is commonly installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters working on instrument lines, refrigeration lines, fuel lines, or hydraulic circuits.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 45-degree direction change is needed between a compression tube line and a male NPTF threaded connection. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing performance in moderate-pressure systems. Typical use cases include instrument tubing runs, pneumatic control lines, and fluid transfer systems where the compression x MNPT end configuration matches existing port and tube specifications.

Key Features

• Male 45-degree elbow geometry routes tubing at an angle without bending the tube
• Compression x MNPT end connections for straightforward tube-to-port installation
• 1/8-27 NPTF thread standard for pressure-tight dry-seal engagement
• Rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure
• Temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F covers a broad range of service conditions
• Brass construction resists corrosion in compatible fluid and gas systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for use in pneumatic, hydraulic, refrigeration, and instrument tubing systems requiring a 1/8-27 NPTF male port connection with a compression tube inlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF threads are designed for dry-seal engagement; verify thread compatibility before assembly to avoid cross-threading or leaks. Follow applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC for fluid and gas line work.
