Parker PPB4ME4-MG Push-to-connect Male Elbow 1/4 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER PPB4ME4-MG is a push-to-connect male elbow tube fitting designed for quick, tool-free connections in pneumatic and fluid-transfer plumbing systems. Constructed from polypropylene, this fitting accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing on the push-to-connect end and transitions to a 1/4 inch male threaded port. It is rated to 150 psi, making it suitable for low-to-medium pressure air, water, and compatible fluid lines. The 90-degree elbow configuration allows direction changes in tight spaces without bending or kinking tubing. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance trades install this type of fitting during new construction, equipment hookups, and service calls where fast, reliable connections are required.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications where polypropylene chemical resistance and low weight are preferred over brass or steel. Common install scenarios include compressed air distribution, water treatment equipment, and HVAC condensate or control-line plumbing. Its compact footprint — 0.94 inches in height and length, 0.66 inches in width — suits panel-mount or cabinet installations with limited clearance.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC or NEC guidelines for the connected system type. Before servicing or replacing any fitting, shut off the fluid or air supply and depressurize the line completely. Verify that the tubing OD is clean, cut square, and free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect collet to ensure a leak-free seal. Do not exceed the 150 psi pressure rating of this fitting.
