Parker A4ME2-MG Push-to-connect Male Elbow 1/4in Od

Product Description

The PARKER A4ME2-MG is a push-to-connect male elbow tube fitting designed for tube-to-pipe connections in pneumatic and fluid control systems. Manufactured from POM (polyoxymethylene), this fitting accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing and threads into a 1/8 inch NPTF port. The push-to-connect mechanism allows fast, tool-free tube insertion while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant seal rated to 300 psi. This type of fitting is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and instrumentation specialists working with compressed air lines, pneumatic controls, or low-pressure fluid circuits where a 90-degree direction change is required.

The A4ME2-MG is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving pneumatic tubing runs, control line connections, and instrument air circuits. The male elbow configuration allows direct threaded entry into a panel, manifold, valve body, or equipment port, with the tube exiting at 90 degrees. This fitting is appropriate for use with compatible 1/4 inch OD plastic or nylon tubing in systems where POM material is compatible with the working fluid or gas.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion and release
• POM (polyoxymethylene) body offers good chemical resistance and dimensional stability
• Rated to 300 psi working pressure
• 1/8 inch NPTF male thread for leak-resistant tapered pipe thread engagement
• Accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing
• 90-degree elbow geometry for compact, directional routing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for use with 1/4 inch OD tubing in pneumatic and fluid control plumbing systems utilizing 1/8 inch NPTF threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or instrumentation mechanics. Before installation, de-energize and depressurize the system completely. Ensure the NPTF threads are clean and free of damage before threading in the fitting by hand, then wrench-tighten to achieve a proper tapered thread seal. Insert tubing fully into the push-to-connect collet until it seats, and verify retention by applying a light pull-back force on the tube before returning the system to pressure.
