Parker 5MSEL2N-316 Compression Male Elbow 1/8-27 Npt Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 5MSEL2N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube male elbow fitting designed to create a 90-degree directional change in tubing runs while transitioning from a compression tube connection to a male NPT threaded port. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it is rated for a maximum working pressure of 8100 psi and handles temperatures from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F. The 1/8-27 NPT thread size makes it a compact, high-integrity fitting used in instrumentation, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this fitting where space constraints require a directional change at a threaded port connection.

This fitting is suited for demanding industrial, commercial, and process applications where stainless steel corrosion resistance and high-pressure performance are required. Typical installations include compressed gas lines, hydraulic instrument tubing, chemical process piping, and refrigeration or cryogenic systems that require operation across extreme temperature ranges. The compression end eliminates the need for soldering or welding at the tube connection, allowing for cleaner field assembly in tight spaces.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• Maximum working pressure rated at 8100 psi for high-pressure system use
• Wide temperature range from -425 degrees F to 1200 degrees F suits cryogenic and high-heat applications
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tube-to-threaded-port transitions without soldering
• 1/8-27 NPT thread size for compact instrumentation and small-bore piping connections
• 90-degree male elbow geometry accommodates directional changes in confined plumbing runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tube systems requiring a male NPT elbow transition with 1/8-27 NPT thread sizing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or qualified instrumentation technician familiar with high-pressure tubing systems. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembling any existing fittings or making new connections. Compression fittings require proper tube preparation including clean square cuts and deburred tube ends to ensure a leak-free seal. Verify thread engagement and compression ferrule seating against applicable pressure system codes before returning the line to service.
