Parker PP4ME6 Push-to-connect Male Elbow 1/4 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER PP4ME6 is a push-to-connect male elbow tube fitting designed to transition from tubing to a threaded pipe connection at a 90-degree angle. Constructed from polypropylene in a tan color, it accepts 1/4 inch outside diameter tubing and connects to a 3/8 inch NPTF male threaded port. Rated to 150 psi, this fitting is suited for low-pressure fluid and pneumatic line applications in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial equipment. The push-to-connect design eliminates the need for compression sleeves or ferrules, allowing for fast, tool-free tube insertion.

This fitting is commonly used in residential and light commercial systems where quick-connect tubing connections to NPT-threaded ports are required. Typical applications include water treatment equipment, condensate drain lines, pneumatic control circuits, and refrigeration accessory plumbing. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and equipment service professionals install this type of fitting where a 90-degree directional change is needed between a tube run and a pipe thread fitting.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and fast field assembly

Compatibility

Designed as a standard push-to-connect replacement fitting compatible with systems using 1/4 inch OD tubing and 3/8 inch NPTF male threaded ports rated within the 150 psi operating range.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off fluid supply and depressurize the line completely before disconnecting or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely with a tube cutter and that the tube end is free of burrs before insertion. NPTF threads are designed for pressure-tight connections without sealant, but verify thread engagement is appropriate for the application and local code requirements under IPC or IFGC as applicable.
