Parker 3MSEL2N-316 Compression Male Elbow 1/8-27 Npt Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 3MSEL2N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube male elbow fitting designed to transition from a compression tube connection to a male NPT threaded port. Built from 316-grade stainless steel, this fitting handles extreme temperature ranges from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F and a maximum working pressure of 10,300 psi, making it suitable for demanding instrumentation, hydraulic, and process piping applications. The 1/8-27 NPT thread on the male end mates directly with standard female NPT ports. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and instrumentation technicians typically install this fitting in high-pressure or corrosive-environment service lines.

This elbow fitting is used where a tube line must change direction and terminate at a threaded port on a valve body, manifold, instrument, or panel fitting. The 90-degree elbow geometry reduces the need for additional bends in the tubing run. It is common in refrigeration instrumentation lines, pneumatic control circuits, chemical process systems, and offshore or marine environments where corrosion resistance is critical. Its stainless steel construction resists oxidation, chlorides, and a wide range of process media.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion and high-temperature resistance
• Maximum working pressure of 10,300 psi for high-pressure applications
• Wide temperature rating from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F
• 1/8-27 NPT male thread conforms to standard NPT thread specification
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-assisted, leak-tight assembly
• Compact elbow form factor reduces tubing bends in tight installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube fitting for use in high-pressure instrumentation, pneumatic, and process piping systems that require a 1/8-27 NPT male port connection with a compression tube inlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumbing, instrumentation, or HVAC technician. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any compression fittings. Use two wrenches when tightening the NPT end to avoid torquing the tube connection. Follow applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 for process piping or the IPC for plumbing systems, and verify thread sealant compatibility with the process media before assembly.
