Parker FB4ME4-HBLK Push-to-connect Male Elbow 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER FB4ME4-HBLK is a push-to-connect male elbow tube fitting designed for use in fluid and pneumatic systems where a 90-degree direction change is required at a male-threaded port. Constructed from Kynar (PVDF) with a black finish, this fitting accepts 1/4-inch OD tubing and connects to a 1/4-inch NPTF male thread. The FKM o-ring provides chemical compatibility with a wide range of media, and the fitting is rated for 250 psi service. A vacuum rating of 28 inches Hg makes it suitable for both pressure and light vacuum applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial service professionals install this type of fitting.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC, refrigeration, chemical handling, and instrumentation applications where corrosion resistance and secure push-to-connect convenience are required. The Kynar body material offers strong resistance to harsh chemicals and UV exposure, making it a reliable choice in demanding service environments. The push-to-connect design speeds field assembly without requiring additional sealants on the tube side.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any tube fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before insertion into the push-to-connect port. Confirm NPTF thread engagement is complete and inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure. Follow applicable plumbing and mechanical codes for the jurisdiction where the fitting is installed.
