Parker 8MSEL6N-B Compression Male Elbow 3/8 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 8MSEL6N-B is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect tubing to a male pipe thread port at a 90-degree angle. It features a compression end on one side and a male NPT end on the other, allowing a secure, leak-resistant transition between tubing and threaded pipe connections. Rated to a maximum working pressure of 2200 psi, this fitting is built for demanding fluid and gas line applications. The brass construction provides good corrosion resistance and durability across a wide range of media. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly install this type of fitting in refrigeration, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial installations where 3/8-inch compression tubing must terminate at a male pipe thread connection. It is commonly found in refrigerant lines, compressed air distribution, hydraulic circuits, and instrument tubing runs. The 90-degree elbow orientation helps route tubing in tight spaces where a straight fitting would not clear surrounding components or structures. Installers working with copper or compatible soft tubing will find this configuration practical for panel-mounted connections and manifold assemblies.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and compatibility with a broad range of fluids and gases
• Compression x MNPT end connections for a reliable, tool-assisted tube-to-pipe transition
• 2200 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure system applications
• 3/8-inch thread size with MPT thread standard
• 90-degree male elbow geometry for routing tubing in confined spaces
• Sold individually, no minimum order requirement beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow fitting for use with 3/8-inch compression tubing and standard male NPT threaded ports in fluid and gas distribution systems. Cross-reference Swagelok part number B-810-2-6 for interchangeability verification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician familiar with compression fittings and applicable codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling any fittings or tubing. Use appropriate wrenches on the fitting body and nut — do not grip the tubing directly with pliers. Verify thread compatibility and ensure the compression ferrule is seated correctly on the tubing before tightening to avoid leaks or tubing damage.
