Parker 8MSEL8N-B Compression Male Elbow 1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 8MSEL8N-B is a brass compression tube male elbow designed to connect compression tubing to a male NPT threaded port in a 90-degree configuration. It accepts a 1/2 inch compression fitting on one end and a 1/2 inch male pipe thread (MNPT) on the other, making it a reliable transition fitting for high-pressure fluid and gas lines. Rated to a maximum working pressure of 2200 psi, this elbow is built for demanding service in hydraulic, pneumatic, refrigeration, and instrumentation applications. The all-brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in both wet and dry environments. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation technicians install this fitting in commercial and industrial piping systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial installations where a direction change is needed at a compression-to-NPT threaded joint. Common applications include instrument tubing connections, hydraulic lines, compressed air systems, and refrigerant or process fluid piping where a secure, leak-resistant elbow transition is required. The compression end creates a bite-type mechanical seal without solder or flare tooling, allowing reliable field assembly. It is appropriate for use in both new construction and retrofit service work.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in wet and process fluid environments
• Compression x MNPT end connections for a tool-accessible, no-solder field joint
• 1/2 inch thread size on both ends for direct compatibility with standard NPT ports
• Rated to 2200 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure service
• 90-degree male elbow configuration for tight-space direction changes
• Single-piece unit quantity — no partial pack quantities

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for use in standard 1/2 inch compression and MNPT threaded piping systems. Compatible with installations referencing Swagelok part number B-810-2-8.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting is typically performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or instrumentation technician in accordance with applicable mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut before applying the manufacturer-recommended additional turns with a wrench to seat the ferrule — do not overtighten. Inspect tubing ends for squareness and burrs prior to assembly to ensure a leak-free seal.
