Parker KP23838 Push-to-connect Male Elbow 5/32 Od 1/8 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER KP23838 is a push-to-connect male elbow tube fitting designed for quick, tool-free connections in pneumatic and fluid-transfer lines. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it offers corrosion resistance suitable for compressed air, inert gas, and light fluid applications. The fitting accepts 5/32-inch OD tubing and connects to a 1/8-inch NPT male thread port. It is rated to 290 psi maximum working pressure and operates across a temperature range of -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic system installers use this type of fitting where a directional 90-degree change is needed in tubing runs without soldering or flaring.

This fitting suits residential and light commercial applications where push-to-connect convenience reduces installation time on control tubing, sensing lines, or pneumatic actuator circuits. The male NPT thread end installs directly into threaded ports on valves, manifolds, solenoids, or equipment panels. The elbow configuration allows tubing to exit perpendicular to the port face, which is useful in tight enclosures or panel-mount scenarios. It is sold in a package quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and quick release
• 90-degree male elbow routes tubing perpendicular to the threaded port
• Nickel-plated brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability
• Rated to 290 psi maximum working pressure
• Compatible with 1/8-inch NPT threaded ports
• Operating temperature range of -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/32-inch OD tubing and 1/8-inch NPT threaded ports in pneumatic and fluid-handling systems. Suitable as an OEM-style or replacement push-to-connect fitting in control, instrumentation, and light-duty pneumatic line applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified HVAC technicians, plumbers, or pneumatic system installers. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT male threads before installing into the receiving port; do not over-tighten, as brass threads can be damaged. Ensure the system is depressurized and isolated before inserting or removing tubing from the push-to-connect end. Verify tubing OD is 5/32 inch and that the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely for a leak-free connection.
