Parker FB6MES4-HBLK 90 Male Swivel Elbow 3/8 Od 1/4 Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER FB6MES4-HBLK is a push-to-connect 90-degree male swivel elbow tube fitting designed for tube-to-pipe connections in fluid and pneumatic systems. Constructed from Kynar (PVDF) with a black finish, this fitting accepts 3/8 inch OD tubing and connects to a 1/4 inch NPTF male thread. The swivel elbow design allows for angular adjustment during installation, reducing stress on connected tubing. It is rated for 250 psi working pressure and carries a vacuum rating of 28 in-Hg. The FKM O-ring ensures a secure, leak-resistant seal. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation installers work with this fitting in chemical-resistant piping applications.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and process fluid systems where corrosion resistance and reliable push-to-connect performance are required. Kynar construction makes it appropriate for mildly aggressive media environments. The 90-degree swivel elbow configuration is commonly used where tube routing must change direction at a pipe port without fixed-angle constraints. Pkg Qty is 1 unit per order.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting compatible with 3/8 inch OD tubing systems using 1/4 inch NPTF male pipe ports in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Shut off and depressurize the system completely before installing or removing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing is cut square, deburred, and free of contamination before insertion into the fitting collar. NPTF threads are designed for dry-seal engagement but thread sealant tape may be used per jobsite or code requirements. Follow applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC for fluid system installations.
