Parker 8MSEL6N-316 Compression Male Elbow 3/8-18 Npt Ss

Product Description

The PARKER 8MSEL6N-316 is a stainless steel compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect tubing to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. It features a compression end on one side and a male NPT (MNPT) threaded end on the other, with a thread size of 3/8-18. The 316 stainless steel construction provides strong corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for demanding fluid and gas systems. This fitting is rated to a maximum working pressure of 6300 psi, supporting high-pressure applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is used in industrial, commercial, and instrumentation plumbing applications where tubing must transition to an NPT-threaded component. Common install scenarios include process piping, hydraulic lines, pneumatic systems, and instrumentation manifolds where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are critical. It is appropriate for both above-ground and inline installations in environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or high-pressure media.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel body for superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• Maximum working pressure of 6300 psi for high-pressure service
• 3/8-18 NPT thread ensures compatibility with standard male NPT ports
• Compression x MNPT end connections for secure, leak-resistant tubing termination
• Male elbow configuration enables 90-degree directional changes in tubing runs
• Single-piece unit with no loose parts to lose during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube fitting for use in systems requiring 3/8-18 NPT male threaded connections with compression tube ends in stainless steel service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or instrumentation technician familiar with compression fittings and NPT thread standards. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads per system requirements and applicable codes. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
