Parker A6MES2-MG Male Swivel Elbow 3/8 in Od 1/8 in Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER A6MES2-MG is a push-to-connect male swivel elbow tube fitting designed for tube-to-pipe connections in pneumatic and fluid handling systems. Manufactured from polyoxymethylene (POM), this fitting accepts 3/8 inch OD tubing and connects to 1/8 inch NPTF threaded ports. The swivel design allows the male thread end to rotate independently, making it easier to tighten into a port without twisting the connected tube. Rated to 300 psi, it handles moderate-pressure air and compatible fluid lines. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic system installers commonly use this type of fitting in control lines, instrument tubing, and light-duty fluid circuits.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where push-to-connect convenience and compact elbow geometry are needed. The 90-degree elbow configuration is useful in tight routing situations where a straight fitting would create excessive bend stress on the tubing. Its NPTF thread type provides a dry-seal connection at the pipe port, reducing the need for additional thread sealant in many applications. Gray POM construction offers good chemical resistance for use with water, air, and many non-aggressive fluids.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion for fast installation
• Swivel male end rotates independently to ease port engagement without tube stress
• NPTF dry-seal thread eliminates the need for additional thread sealant in many setups
• Rated to 300 psi for moderate-pressure pneumatic and fluid service
• Polyoxymethylene (POM) body provides good chemical and wear resistance
• Compact elbow geometry suits tight-clearance routing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect elbow fitting for systems using 3/8 inch OD tubing and 1/8 inch NPTF threaded ports in pneumatic, instrumentation, or light fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and isolate the line before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely, and that the tube end is free of burrs before insertion. Verify NPTF port threads are clean and undamaged before engaging the swivel end.
