Parker 179CA-6-6 Male 45 Elbow 3/8-18 Nptf Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 179CA-6-6 is a brass compression tube male 45 degree elbow fitting designed for connecting compression tube lines to male NPTF threaded ports at a 45 degree angle. It features a 3/8-18 thread size with NPTF thread standard and handles a maximum working pressure of 1000 psi. The fitting is rated for temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of fluid and pneumatic system applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting when routing tubing in tight spaces where a straight connection is not practical.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems where a compression tube connection must transition to a male pipe thread at a 45 degree angle. The brass construction resists corrosion and holds up well in wet or humid environments. It is a common choice in fluid transfer lines, compressed air systems, and refrigeration piping where reliable, leak-resistant connections are required at angled transitions.

Key Features

• 45 degree elbow configuration for angled routing in confined installations
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tubing-to-pipe-thread transitions
• 3/8-18 NPTF thread size for pressure-tight, dryseal engagement
• 1000 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Temperature range from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in plumbing and fluid systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tube to male NPTF pipe thread connections in plumbing, HVAC, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems requiring a 45 degree elbow configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any compression fitting. Use appropriate tube preparation tools to ensure a clean, square tube end for reliable compression seal engagement. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for fitting selection and pressure system work.
