Parker 365PTC-8 Push-to-connect Union Elbow 1/2 Inch Od

Product Description

The PARKER 365PTC-8 is a push-to-connect union elbow tube fitting designed for tube-to-tube connections in fluid and pneumatic distribution systems. It accepts 1/2 inch OD tubing on both ends and creates a 90-degree directional change without threading or compression tools. The composite body is rated to 250 psi, making it suitable for a range of low-to-moderate pressure service lines. A nitrile o-ring provides the primary seal, offering good resistance to oils, fuels, and common refrigerants. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance personnel use this fitting where quick, reliable connections are needed in tight routing scenarios.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC equipment, and pneumatic control lines where 1/2 inch OD tubing is routed around obstructions or panels. The push-to-connect design allows the tubing to be inserted by hand, locking the connection securely. It is commonly installed on distribution manifolds, equipment plumbing runs, and control-line assemblies that require a clean directional change without soldering or flare tools.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch OD tubing in push-to-connect tube-to-tube plumbing and pneumatic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by cutting tubing square, deburring the cut end, and inserting it fully into the fitting port until it seats. Shut off all system pressure before disconnecting or repositioning any fitting. Verify that tubing OD and material are compatible with the 250 psi pressure rating and the nitrile o-ring seal before installation. This fitting should be installed by a qualified technician in accordance with applicable plumbing or mechanical codes.
