Built from Kynar (PVDF) with an FKM o-ring, this fitting handles up to 250 psi working pressure and a vacuum rating of 28 in-Hg. It accepts 5\/16 inch OD tubing and threads into a 1\/4 inch NPTF port. The black color coding aids quick identification during installation and service. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial service professionals install this type of fitting in refrigerant-adjacent, chemical-handling, and general-purpose pneumatic or fluid-transfer lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable elbow connection is needed between a 5\/16 inch OD tube and a 1\/4 inch NPTF male-threaded port. Common install scenarios include condensate management lines, chemical dosing systems, and compressed-air distribution. The Kynar construction offers strong resistance to corrosive fluids and elevated temperatures, making it appropriate in environments where standard nylon or acetal fittings would degrade. The push-to-connect design allows for quick field assembly without additional sealants or ferrule compression tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and positive retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKynar (PVDF) body construction resists corrosive chemicals and UV exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFKM o-ring provides reliable sealing across a wide temperature range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 250 psi working pressure with a vacuum rating of 28 in-Hg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch NPTF male thread ensures a pressure-tight tapered pipe connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack color for easy identification in multi-fitting installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for systems using 5\/16 inch OD tubing and 1\/4 inch NPTF threaded ports in fluid transfer or pneumatic applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified industrial mechanics. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely, and that the OD is free of burrs or scoring before insertion. Thread engagement should follow standard NPTF wrench-turn guidance per applicable IPC or IFGC specifications for the system being serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVacuum Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28 in-Hg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Kynar (PVDF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eO-Ring Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: FKM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: FB5ME4-HBLK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540693942578,"sku":"FB5ME4-HBLK","price":26.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a9bab08decdc398d0f5ad18e7a3486ae.jpg?v=1785862156","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-fb5me4-hblk-male-elbow-tube-fitting-5-16-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
