Parker 2MSEL2N-316 Compression Male Elbow 1/8-27 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 2MSEL2N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect tubing to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. It uses a compression-style end on one side and a 1/8-27 MNPT end on the other, making it suitable for high-pressure instrumentation, fluid, and gas line applications. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it handles working pressures up to 10,900 psi and a temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1,200 degrees F. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this fitting where a direction change between tubing and a threaded port is required.

This fitting is commonly used in industrial, HVAC, and process instrumentation systems where stainless steel construction is required for corrosion resistance or high-pressure service. It is suited for both gas and liquid service in applications such as hydraulic lines, pneumatic controls, and analytical instrument connections. The compression end accepts standard tubing and provides a leak-tight seal without welding or soldering, making it practical in tight spaces or field service conditions.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow direct tubing-to-threaded-port installation
• 1/8-27 NPT thread size for compatibility with standard NPT ported components
• Rated to 10,900 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure service
• Wide temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1,200 degrees F covers cryogenic and high-heat applications
• Compact elbow geometry for direction changes in tight plumbing layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for use with standard tubing and 1/8-27 NPT threaded ports in instrumentation, industrial fluid, and gas piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed pipefitters or instrumentation technicians following applicable piping codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Use appropriate tube cutters and deburring tools to ensure a clean, square tube end before inserting into the compression end to achieve a proper seal. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as doing so can damage the ferrule and compromise the seal.
