Parker A8MES8-MG Male Swivel Elbow 1/2 in Od 1/2 in Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER A8MES8-MG is a push-to-connect male swivel elbow tube fitting designed for tube-to-pipe connections in fluid and pneumatic systems. Constructed from polyoxymethylene (POM), a high-strength acetal resin, this fitting accommodates 1/2 inch OD tubing and connects to 1/2 inch NPTF male threads. The swivel design allows the pipe thread side to rotate during installation, reducing torque stress on the tubing. Rated to 250 psi, this fitting is suitable for water, air, and compatible fluid service. It is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pneumatic system technicians in both commercial and residential applications.

This fitting is used in push-to-connect pneumatic and fluid distribution systems where a 90-degree direction change is needed between a tube run and a threaded pipe port. The POM body resists common chemicals and moisture. Its gray color aids visual identification in multi-line installations. Typical applications include compressed air distribution, water service plumbing, and light industrial fluid systems where a reliable, tool-free tube connection at a pipe port is required.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for pneumatic and fluid distribution systems accepting 1/2 inch OD tubing and 1/2 inch NPTF male pipe thread ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant appropriate for NPTF connections on the pipe thread side before threading into the port. Verify tubing is cut squarely and free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect end to ensure a proper seal.
