It uses a compression-style tube end on one side and a 3\/8-18 FNPT connection on the other, making it suitable for fluid and pneumatic line routing where a direction change is required. Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure, the fitting handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards, making it appropriate for brake and hydraulic line applications in both mobile and stationary equipment. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid power specialists are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid transfer systems where tubing must transition to a female NPT threaded port at a right angle. Its brass construction suits water, air, and compatible hydraulic fluid service. The compression end allows for a tool-assisted, leak-resistant connection without soldering or flaring, which is practical for field repairs and new installations alike. It is well suited to residential and light commercial HVAC refrigerant line accessories, compressed air systems, fuel lines, and DOT-regulated brake tubing assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression x FNPT end connections for direction change in tubing runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-18 NPTF thread standard for reliable pressure-tight engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e400 psi maximum working pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets D.O.T.

Depressurize and isolate the system completely before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Compression fittings require the tube end to be cut squarely and deburred before insertion; do not over-tighten the compression nut, as brass fittings are susceptible to thread damage. Verify thread compatibility with the mating port before assembly, as NPTF and NPT threads differ in sealing behavior under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 400 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.408 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: D.O.T.
