Parker FB6ME4-HBLK Push-to-connect Male Elbow 3/8 Od

Product Description

The PARKER FB6ME4-HBLK is a push-to-connect male elbow tube fitting designed for quick, tool-free tube connections in fluid and pneumatic systems. Constructed from Kynar with an FKM O-ring, this fitting handles pressures up to 250 psi and provides a vacuum rating of 28 in-Hg. It accepts 3/8 inch OD tubing and connects to 1/4 inch NPTF male threads. The black Kynar body offers solid chemical resistance, making it suitable for demanding fluid-handling applications. Plumbing, HVAC, and industrial technicians install this fitting where a 90-degree directional change is needed without soldering, compression tools, or additional fittings.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant-line accessories, pneumatic control circuits, and fluid transfer systems where push-to-connect speed and reliable sealing are priorities. The NPTF thread type provides a dry-seal mechanical connection at the male thread end, reducing reliance on additional thread sealant. The black Kynar construction suits environments where corrosive media or UV exposure is a concern. Technicians working on tubing runs that require a 90-degree turn at a threaded port will find this fitting a direct, low-effort solution.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for systems using 3/8 inch OD tubing and 1/4 inch NPTF male threaded ports in plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbing or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC and NEC guidelines where relevant. Depressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper seal. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPTF threads as required by local code or system specifications.
