Parker PP6ME6 Push-to-connect Male Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER PP6ME6 is a push-to-connect male elbow tube fitting designed for tube-to-pipe connections in fluid and pneumatic plumbing systems. Constructed from polypropylene in a tan finish, this fitting accepts 3/8 inch OD tubing and connects to a 3/8 inch NPTF male thread. It is rated to 150 psi and provides a reliable, tool-free tube insertion joint. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals use this fitting where a 90-degree directional change is needed between a tube run and a threaded pipe port.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pneumatic control lines, and fluid transfer applications where polypropylene is chemically compatible with the media. The push-to-connect design speeds up installation in tight spaces or in systems that require frequent service access. It is appropriate for use in low-pressure water, air, and compatible chemical service lines where a compact elbow transition from tube to NPTF-threaded port is required.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for systems using 3/8 inch OD tubing with 3/8 inch NPTF threaded ports in pneumatic, water, or compatible fluid service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC or system-specific guidelines. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Verify that the tubing end is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before insertion, as damaged tube ends can compromise the internal collet seal. Confirm that the thread sealant used on the NPTF connection is compatible with polypropylene and the system media before torquing the fitting into the port.
