Parker A4MES6-MG Male Swivel Elbow 1/4 in Od 3/8 in Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER A4MES6-MG is a push-to-connect male swivel elbow tube fitting designed for tube-to-pipe connections in pneumatic and fluid handling systems. Constructed from POM (polyoxymethylene), this fitting accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing on the push-to-connect end and transitions to a 3/8 inch NPTF male threaded pipe connection. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate after installation, simplifying alignment in tight or awkward plumbing runs. Rated to 300 psi, it is suited for compressed air, water, and compatible low-pressure fluid lines. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pneumatic system installers typically specify this type of fitting for quick, tool-free tube connections.

This fitting is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications where push-to-connect speed and ease of assembly are required. Typical install scenarios include pneumatic control lines, compressed air distribution, water supply connections, and instrumentation tubing runs where a directional 90-degree transition from tube to male pipe thread is needed. The gray POM body offers good chemical resistance for general-purpose service conditions.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4 inch OD push-to-connect tubing and 3/8 inch NPTF male pipe thread ports in pneumatic and fluid handling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before installing or removing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the OD is within tolerance before inserting into the push-to-connect end. Thread the NPTF male end into the mating female port by hand first, then tighten appropriately per the fitting port material; apply thread sealant compatible with the service fluid as needed.
