Parker A4FE4-MG Female Elbow Tube Fitting 1/4 in Od Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER A4FE4-MG is a push-to-connect female elbow tube fitting designed to transition between tubing and threaded pipe connections in a single, compact body. Made from polyoxymethylene (POM), this fitting handles up to 300 psi of working pressure and connects 1/4 inch OD tubing to a 1/4 inch NPTF female thread. The push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion while the elbow geometry redirects flow 90 degrees, reducing the need for additional fittings. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pneumatic system installers use this type of fitting where space is limited and quick assembly is a priority.

This fitting is suited for light-duty pneumatic, fluid transfer, and instrumentation tubing runs in both residential and commercial settings. The NPTF thread provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without the need for additional sealant in most applications. Typical installations include equipment panels, compressed air lines, and process tubing where a directional change from tubing to a female threaded port is required. The tan POM construction resists many common chemicals encountered in HVAC and plumbing service environments.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and fast field assembly
• 90-degree female elbow body redirects tubing runs without additional fittings
• Rated to 300 psi working pressure
• Polyoxymethylene (POM) construction offers good chemical and wear resistance
• 1/4 inch OD tube connection with 1/4 inch NPTF female thread
• Compact tan body suitable for panel and equipment installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/4 inch OD tubing systems terminating at 1/4 inch NPTF female-threaded ports in pneumatic, fluid transfer, and instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or instrumentation mechanics. Before installing or removing this fitting, depressurize the line completely and isolate the system from any fluid or air supply. Ensure the tubing end is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before insertion into the push-to-connect collet. Verify thread compatibility before engaging the NPTF connection, as NPTF threads are designed to seal on thread interference and may not be interchangeable with NPT ports in all pressure-rated applications.
