Parker 6MSEL8N-B Compression Male Elbow 1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 6MSEL8N-B is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect tubing to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. It uses a compression end on one side and a male NPT thread on the other, making it suitable for secure, leak-resistant connections in pneumatic, hydraulic, and fluid handling systems. Rated to 2300 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is built for demanding service environments. The all-brass construction resists corrosion and holds up to a wide range of compatible fluids and gases. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters typically install this type of fitting.

This compression male elbow is used in residential and commercial applications where a tube run must transition to a threaded port or valve body at a right angle. Common install scenarios include instrument lines, refrigeration service connections, pneumatic control circuits, and general plumbing stub-outs. The 1/2-inch thread size and compression-to-MNPT configuration suit a wide range of tubing and pipe arrangements in both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• 90-degree male elbow configuration for direction changes without additional fittings
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tube-to-threaded-port transitions
• 1/2-inch thread size for common plumbing and instrument line applications
• Rated to 2300 psi maximum working pressure
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• MPT thread standard for compatibility with standard NPT-threaded ports and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for use in pneumatic, hydraulic, and fluid handling systems requiring a 1/2-inch compression-to-MNPT connection. Cross-reference Swagelok part number B-600-2-8 when evaluating interchangeability.

Installation Notes

Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. A licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter should perform installation in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Use appropriate tools to seat the compression ferrule evenly without overtightening, which can deform the ferrule and cause leaks. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly; do not apply sealant to the compression end.
