Parker FB4ME2-HBLK Male Elbow Fitting 1/4in Od Kynar

Product Description

The PARKER FB4ME2-HBLK is a push-to-connect male elbow tube fitting designed for use in pneumatic and fluid-handling systems where quick, reliable connections are required. Constructed from Kynar (PVDF) with a black finish, this fitting accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing and connects to a 1/8 inch NPTF male thread. It is rated to 250 psi and carries a vacuum rating of 28 in-Hg, making it suitable for both pressure and vacuum applications. The FKM o-ring provides chemical resistance in demanding service environments. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial service professionals install this type of fitting where push-to-connect convenience and chemical compatibility are priorities.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic control lines, chemical fluid transfer, and instrumentation tubing runs where Kynar construction offers resistance to aggressive media. The male elbow configuration allows a 90-degree direction change at a threaded port, commonly used at valve bodies, manifolds, and panel bulkheads. It is appropriate for applications requiring FKM sealing where standard brass or nylon fittings are not chemically compatible.

Key Features

• Kynar (PVDF) body construction for chemical and corrosion resistance
• Push-to-connect design accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing without tools
• 1/8 inch NPTF male thread for leak-tight tapered pipe thread connections
• Rated to 250 psi working pressure
• 28 in-Hg vacuum rating supports vacuum line applications
• FKM o-ring material for compatibility with aggressive fluids
• Black color finish for visual identification in multi-line installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement push-to-connect male elbow fitting for pneumatic control, instrumentation, and fluid-handling systems using 1/4 inch OD tubing with 1/8 inch NPTF threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with pneumatic or fluid system work. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the tubing cut is clean and square before inserting into the push-to-connect collet to achieve a proper seal. Thread engagement should follow NPTF hand-tight-plus guidelines per applicable IPC or system manufacturer specifications; do not overtighten as Kynar fittings are not rated for the same torque as metal fittings.
