Parker BD-LG1017 90 Male Elbow Fitting 3/16in Od 1/8in Npt

Product Description

The PARKER BD-LG1017 is a push-to-connect 90-degree male elbow tube fitting designed for fast, tool-free tube connections in pneumatic and fluid-handling systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it accepts 3/16 inch OD tubing and threads into 1/8 inch NPT ports. The push-to-connect mechanism allows a technician to seat tubing with a single insertion, eliminating compression fittings or flare work at that connection point. Rated to 290 psi maximum working pressure, it handles the demands of typical pneumatic control circuits, light hydraulic lines, and instrumentation tubing. Operating temperature range spans 5 degrees F to 155 degrees F, covering most indoor mechanical room and equipment-panel applications.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC controls, pneumatic actuator lines, refrigeration instrumentation, and plumbing sensing circuits where 3/16 inch OD tubing terminates at an NPT-ported component such as a valve body, manifold, or sensor housing. The 90-degree elbow geometry is useful where routing space is limited and a straight fitting would require a sharp tube bend. Typical installers include HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and instrumentation technicians working on low-pressure pneumatic or fluid circuits.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and secure retention without compression sleeves
• Nickel-plated brass construction provides corrosion resistance in humid mechanical environments
• 290 psi maximum working pressure rated for pneumatic control and instrumentation service
• 1/8 inch NPT male thread seats directly into standard NPT-ported ports and manifolds
• Operating range of 5 degrees F to 155 degrees F suits most indoor HVAC and refrigeration panel applications
• Compliant with RoHS, REACH, and ISO 14743 standards for use in regulated equipment and export applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for systems using 3/16 inch OD tubing with 1/8 inch NPT ported components. No specific model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, or instrumentation technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut squarely and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper seal. Apply thread sealant to the NPT male threads per local plumbing or mechanical code requirements before threading into the port.
