Parker 6FEL2N-316 Compression Female Elbow 1/8-27 Npt Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 6FEL2N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube female elbow designed to connect compression tubing to a female NPT port in a 90-degree configuration. With a 1/8-27 NPT thread and compression-to-FNPT end connections, this fitting handles extreme service conditions, rated to 6,600 psi maximum working pressure and a temperature range of -425 degrees F to 1,200 degrees F. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it resists corrosion in aggressive media and high-cycle environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this fitting in high-pressure tubing systems where a reliable, leak-tight elbow connection is required.

This fitting is suited for instrumentation, process control, hydraulic, and pneumatic tubing systems in both industrial and commercial applications. The compression-to-FNPT configuration makes it a practical choice when transitioning from tubing runs to threaded female pipe ports on valves, manifolds, gauges, or equipment panels. Its wide temperature rating makes it appropriate for cryogenic through high-temperature process lines. The compact elbow geometry allows installation in tight panel or cabinet spaces where straight fittings will not clear.

Key Features

• Maximum working pressure of 6,600 psi for high-pressure instrumentation and process service
• Temperature range of -425 degrees F to 1,200 degrees F covers cryogenic through high-heat applications
• 316 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in aggressive or wet environments
• Compression x FNPT end connections allow direct transition from compression tubing to female NPT threaded ports
• 1/8-27 NPT thread size fits standard small-bore instrumentation and gauge connections
• 90-degree elbow geometry reduces tubing bend radius requirements in confined installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tubing systems using 1/8-27 NPT female-threaded ports in industrial, instrumentation, and process piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or instrumentation technician familiar with compression fitting assembly procedures. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Compression fittings require proper ferrule seating on the first make-up; follow the fitting manufacturer's turn-count procedure rather than relying on feel alone. Consult applicable codes including ASME B31.3 for process piping when selecting fittings for pressure service.
