Parker 6FEL4N-B Compression Female Elbow 1/4 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 6FEL4N-B is a brass compression tube female elbow fitting designed for making a 90-degree direction change in tubing runs that terminate or connect to a female NPT-threaded port. One end accepts compression-style tubing and the other end features a 1/4 inch FNPT thread. The brass construction provides good corrosion resistance and is well suited to the pressure demands of refrigeration, HVAC, and fluid-handling systems. With a maximum working pressure rating of 2300 psi, this fitting handles both low-pressure and high-pressure plumbing and instrumentation applications. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and instrumentation technicians are the primary installers.

This fitting is commonly used in residential and commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration lines, compressed air distribution, and general-purpose fluid and gas plumbing where a tube-to-pipe transition is required at a 90-degree angle. It connects compression tubing on one side directly to any 1/4 inch FNPT-threaded port, making it a practical choice when routing tubing into a valve, manifold, or instrumentation fitting with a female pipe thread. The compact brass elbow body keeps the connection tight in confined panel or equipment spaces.

Key Features

• Compression x FNPT end connections for a direct tube-to-pipe-thread transition
• 1/4 inch thread size with FPT thread standard
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and reliable sealing
• 2300 psi maximum working pressure suitable for high-pressure lines
• 90-degree female elbow geometry for routing tubing in tight spaces
• Single-piece solid brass body — no solder or flare required on the compression side

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for any system requiring a 1/4 inch compression-to-FNPT female elbow connection in brass. Cross-reference Swagelok part number B-600-8-4 for interchangeability verification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified instrumentation technician following applicable IPC and IFGC codes. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then advance with a wrench — do not over-torque, as brass fittings can crack if forced. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the FNPT threads in accordance with the system fluid and local code requirements.
