Parker 269C-7-6 Compression Male Elbow 3/8-18 Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 269C-7-6 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect compression tubing to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. Built to SAE J-512 standards, it features a 3/8-18 NPTF thread and transitions between a compression end and a male NPT end. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in fluid handling systems. It is rated to a maximum working pressure of 200 psi and handles temperatures ranging from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors install this fitting in fuel, refrigerant, and fluid line assemblies.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a compression tube must terminate at a male NPT threaded port. Typical installations include fuel gas lines, hydraulic circuits, pneumatic systems, and refrigeration tubing runs where a 90-degree directional change is required. The compression end allows for a secure, tool-assisted connection to soft copper or compatible tubing without soldering or brazing.

Key Features

• Male elbow configuration routes tubing at 90 degrees into a male NPT port
• Brass construction resists corrosion in fuel, water, and pneumatic service
• Meets SAE J-512 standards for compression tube fittings
• Rated to 200 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• 3/8-18 NPTF thread for leak-resistant threaded port engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression tube male elbow fitting for systems requiring a Compression x MNPT connection with a 3/8-18 thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified mechanical contractor. Shut off and depressurize the fluid or gas line completely before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant on the NPTF male threads per the applicable plumbing or mechanical code. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
