Parker PF-00083 Swivel 45 Male Elbow 3/8 in Od Brass Ptc

Product Description

The PARKER PF-00083 is a push-to-connect swivel 45-degree male elbow tube fitting manufactured in brass. It provides a tube-to-male NPT connection with a second tube port, allowing a directional change in a pneumatic or fluid line without requiring additional tools for the tube connections. The fitting is rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The swivel design on the MNPT end simplifies installation in tight or angled plumbing runs. Licensed trades including HVAC technicians and plumbers rely on push-to-connect fittings for fast, repeatable connections in both service and new-construction work.

This fitting is suited for use in compressed air lines, pneumatic control circuits, and fluid transfer systems where a 45-degree change of direction is required at a threaded port. The tube-to-MNPT configuration allows it to interface with standard NPT-threaded ports on valves, manifolds, and equipment panels. With a 3/8-inch outside diameter tube connection and 3/8-inch MNPT thread, it fits commonly encountered tubing and ported components in light commercial and residential HVAC and refrigeration applications.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube ends accept 3/8-inch OD tubing without ferrules or compression sleeves
• Swivel MNPT end allows thread engagement without rotating the tubing
• 45-degree elbow angle eases routing in confined equipment spaces
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance for air and compatible fluid service
• Rated to 250 psi working pressure across a wide temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for pneumatic and fluid systems using 3/8-inch OD tubing with 3/8-inch MNPT ported connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or plumber. Always depressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any fitting. Insert tubing fully to the depth stop to ensure a secure push-to-connect seal; confirm engagement with a gentle pull-back test before repressurizing. Refer to applicable codes, including IFGC and relevant SAE standards, for system-specific requirements.
