Parker 3MSEL4N-316 Compression Male Elbow 1/4-18 Npt Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 3MSEL4N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube male elbow fitting designed to transition between a compression tube connection and a male NPT (MNPT) threaded port. The 90-degree elbow configuration allows directional routing of tubing in tight installations. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 10,300 psi and a temperature range of -425 degrees F to 1,200 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding service in instrumentation, process, and high-pressure fluid or gas systems. The 1/4-18 NPT thread size is a standard trade dimension. Installation is performed by qualified plumbers, pipefitters, or instrumentation technicians.

This fitting is suited for use in high-pressure instrumentation lines, hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, and process piping where a compression-to-male-NPT transition at a 90-degree angle is required. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive environments, sanitary applications, and installations where material compatibility with aggressive media is a concern. It is commonly used in both industrial and commercial settings where tube routing requires a directional change at a threaded port connection.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Maximum working pressure of 10,300 psi for high-pressure service
• Wide temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1,200 degrees F
• 1/4-18 NPT thread standard for broad compatibility with NPT-threaded ports
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-free tube attachment on the compression side
• Male elbow configuration enables 90-degree directional routing of tubing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install compression tube male elbow fitting for systems requiring a 1/4-18 NPT male thread and a matching compression tube end connection in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or instrumentation technician familiar with high-pressure tube fitting systems. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Follow applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 for process piping when torquing NPT connections. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as stainless steel fittings are sensitive to galling during assembly.
