Parker PF-00085 Swivel 45 Elbow Push-to-connect 1/2 Od

Product Description

The PARKER PF-00085 is a brass push-to-connect swivel 45-degree male elbow tube fitting designed for use in pneumatic and fluid transfer lines. It accepts 1/2-inch OD tubing on both tube ports and transitions to a 3/8-inch male NPT thread, allowing a swiveling 45-degree change in line direction without the need for tools on the tube side. The fitting is rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. It is built to D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards, making it appropriate for air brake and fluid system applications in mobile and stationary equipment. Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or fleet mechanics.

This fitting is suited for pneumatic tubing runs in light to medium commercial and industrial systems, as well as mobile vehicle air brake plumbing where D.O.T.-compliant fittings are required. The swivel feature eases assembly in tight or awkward routing situations by allowing the tube ports to be positioned independently of the NPT thread engagement. Typical applications include compressed air distribution, brake line plumbing, and equipment fluid circuits that require an angled transition between a threaded port and push-to-connect tubing.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube ends accept 1/2-inch OD tubing without additional tools
• Swivel body allows free rotation during installation to ease line routing
• 45-degree elbow geometry reduces stress on tubing at direction changes
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in air and compatible fluid systems
• Rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a push-to-connect swivel 45-degree male elbow fitting for systems using 1/2-inch OD tubing and 3/8-inch MNPT threaded ports in compressed air, pneumatic, or D.O.T.-regulated brake line applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by qualified HVAC technicians, plumbers, or fleet mechanics working on pneumatic or fluid systems. Always depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the receiving NPT port is clean and apply thread sealant appropriate for the service fluid before torquing the male thread. Insert OD tubing fully into the push-to-connect ports until the tube seats, and verify retention by pulling back lightly on the tube before pressurizing the system.
