Parker PP6ME4 Push-to-connect Male Elbow 3/8in Od

Product Description

The PARKER PP6ME4 is a push-to-connect male elbow tube fitting designed for quick, tool-free tube-to-pipe connections in fluid handling and pneumatic systems. Constructed from polypropylene, this fitting accepts 3/8-inch OD tubing and transitions to a 1/4-inch NPTF male threaded port. The elbow configuration redirects flow 90 degrees without additional fittings or compression hardware. Rated to 150 psi, it is suited for low-to-medium pressure plumbing, irrigation, HVAC auxiliary drain lines, and light industrial applications. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this fitting where a right-angle tube-to-pipe connection is required without soldering or clamps.

The PP6ME4 is used in residential and light commercial applications involving water, air, or compatible fluid distribution lines. Its push-to-connect design makes it well suited for tight spaces and quick-connect panel assemblies where access is limited. Typical installations include condensate drain piping, water treatment distribution, pneumatic control tubing, and equipment supply lines routed at 90-degree angles. The 1/4-inch NPTF thread is a tapered pipe thread engineered for pressure-tight joints without requiring sealant tape in all cases, though standard practice typically includes PTFE tape or pipe dope on male threads.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and secure retention
• 3/8-inch OD tube port with 1/4-inch NPTF male pipe thread
• Polypropylene construction offers resistance to corrosion and many chemicals
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure service
• 90-degree male elbow configuration for compact right-angle routing
• Tan color for easy visual identification in multi-fitting assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for systems using 3/8-inch OD tubing and 1/4-inch NPTF male pipe thread connections in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial fluid or pneumatic circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers or HVAC technicians working with low-pressure fluid or air lines. Shut off system pressure before installing or removing this fitting. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely and is free of burrs before insertion into the push-to-connect port. Apply PTFE tape or approved pipe thread sealant to the NPTF male threads per local plumbing code requirements before threading into the receiving port. Do not exceed the 150 psi pressure rating.
