Parker 3FEL2N-316 Compression Female Elbow 1/8-27 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 3FEL2N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube female elbow fitting designed to connect tubing to female NPT-threaded ports at a 90-degree angle. It features a compression end on one side and a 1/8-27 FNPT end on the other, providing a leak-resistant mechanical connection without the need for solder or flare tools. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 10,300 psi, a maximum temperature of 1,200 degrees F, and a minimum temperature of -425 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding service in instrumentation, hydraulic, and process piping systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians are the primary installers.

This fitting is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial applications where stainless steel corrosion resistance and high-pressure integrity are required. Common installations include process instrumentation lines, pneumatic control systems, chemical handling tubing runs, and high-purity fluid systems. The compression-to-FNPT configuration makes it a direct interface between small-diameter tubing and threaded port connections on valves, gauges, and manifolds.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in aggressive media
• Compression x FNPT end connections for tool-assisted tubing termination without solder or flare
• Maximum working pressure of 10,300 psi for high-pressure instrumentation service
• Wide temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1,200 degrees F
• 1/8-27 NPT thread standard for compatibility with standard NPT-ported components
• 90-degree female elbow geometry for routing tubing in confined or angled installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression tube female elbow for systems using 1/8-27 NPT-ported instrumentation components with compatible compression tubing sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or instrumentation technician familiar with compression fitting assembly procedures. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Compression fittings require proper tubing preparation including square-cut, burr-free tube ends and correct ferrule seating. Follow applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for process piping, and do not over-tighten the compression nut beyond manufacturer-recommended turns past hand-tight.
