Parker 3/8 DD45-S 45 Degree Female Elbow 3/8 Inch Fnptf

Product Description

The PARKER 3/8 DD45-S is a 45-degree female elbow fitting designed for industrial pipe assemblies requiring a directional change in threaded lines. Constructed from zinc-plated steel, this fitting accepts a 3/8-inch female NPT thread on both ports using an FNPTF connection type. It carries a pressure rating of 4500 psi, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic applications. The compact size and standard thread form allow for straightforward integration into existing pipe runs. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or hydraulic system technicians working on industrial fluid or air systems.

This fitting is used in industrial piping systems where a 45-degree directional change is needed without welding or additional adapters. Common applications include hydraulic lines, compressed air distribution, and general industrial fluid conveyance. The zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor industrial environments. Its FNPTF thread classification ensures a pressure-tight seal when properly assembled with compatible male NPT fittings.

Key Features

• 45-degree female elbow geometry for directional pipe routing
• 3/8-inch FNPTF thread on both ports for a pressure-tight connection
• 4500 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic lines
• Zinc-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance in industrial environments
• Standard FNPTF thread classification for broad compatibility with NPT-threaded components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for industrial pipe systems using 3/8-inch female NPT threaded connections in hydraulic, pneumatic, or general fluid conveyance applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing any existing fitting or installing this elbow. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the fluid type and pressure rating in accordance with applicable codes. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the FNPTF threads and compromise the pressure seal.
