Parker 2FEL2N-316 Compression Female Elbow 1/8-27 Npt Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 2FEL2N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube female elbow designed to connect a compression tube end to a female NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. Rated to 10,900 psi maximum working pressure, it handles temperatures from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding fluid and instrumentation service. The 1/8-27 NPT thread mates to standard female pipe ports, while the compression end grips tubing with an outside diameter of 1/8 inch. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this fitting in high-pressure and high-temperature systems where leak-free, vibration-resistant connections are required.

This fitting is used in residential and industrial fluid systems, instrumentation lines, pneumatic circuits, and hydraulic applications where a direction change from tube to female pipe thread is needed. The stainless steel 316 construction resists corrosion in aggressive media, making it a common choice for chemical process, oil and gas, and high-purity instrumentation installations. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit service work.

Key Features

• Stainless steel 316 construction for corrosion resistance in aggressive service environments
• Maximum working pressure of 10,900 psi for high-pressure instrumentation and fluid systems
• Wide temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1,200 degrees F
• 1/8-27 NPT thread standard for compatibility with standard female pipe ports
• Compression x FNPT end connections for tube-to-pipe direction changes without welding or brazing
• Compact elbow geometry suited for tight-space installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/8-inch outside diameter tubing and 1/8-27 NPT female threaded ports in compression tube fitting systems. Consult applicable system documentation to confirm pressure and media compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed pipefitters, plumbers, or instrumentation technicians following applicable codes such as the IPC or ASME B31.3 for process piping. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any compression fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tube before applying the additional turns specified by the fitting manufacturer to seat the ferrule. Do not overtighten the NPT threads; use appropriate thread sealant rated for the media and pressure in service.
