Parker 1MSEL1N-316 Compression Male Elbow 1/16-27 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 1MSEL1N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube male elbow fitting designed for high-pressure fluid and gas line connections in demanding industrial and mechanical systems. It transitions from a compression tube end to a 1/16-27 NPT male threaded connection, allowing technicians to route tubing through a 90-degree change of direction while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant seal. Rated to 16800 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is built for applications where pressure integrity and corrosion resistance are critical. The stainless steel construction supports an operating range from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F, making it suitable for cryogenic through high-temperature service.

This fitting is used in instrumentation, hydraulic, pneumatic, and process control systems where tubing must connect to NPT-ported components such as valves, manifolds, gauges, or equipment panels. Its compact elbow geometry suits tight-clearance installations where straight fittings are not practical. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians working in industrial, commercial, or OEM fabrication settings typically install this type of fitting in stainless tubing runs requiring a directional change at a male NPT port.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in harsh process environments
• Rated to 16800 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure service
• Wide temperature range: -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F covers cryogenic and elevated-heat applications
• 1/16-27 NPT male thread conforms to standard NPT thread specification
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tool-based, repeatable tube assembly
• Single-piece packaging suitable for individual replacement or low-quantity maintenance work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression-to-NPT fitting for stainless steel tubing systems requiring a male elbow transition at a 1/16-27 NPT port.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed pipefitters or instrumentation technicians following applicable process piping codes. Shut down and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Use appropriate tubing preparation tools to ensure a clean, square tube cut before seating the compression sleeve. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as stainless fittings require careful torque control to avoid galling the threads or deforming the ferrule.
