Parker PPB6MES6-MG Male Swivel Elbow Fitting 3/8 Od

Product Description

The PARKER PPB6MES6-MG is a push-to-connect male swivel elbow tube fitting designed to create a 90-degree transition between tubing and a threaded pipe connection. Made from black polypropylene, this fitting accepts 3/8 inch OD tubing on the push-to-connect end and terminates in a 3/8 inch NPTF male thread on the swivel end. It is rated to 150 psi and delivers a tool-free tube insertion on one side while the swivel feature allows the threaded end to be oriented during installation without twisting the connected tubing. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipe fitters install this type of fitting in low-pressure pneumatic, water distribution, and fluid transfer systems where quick, reliable connections are required.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where polypropylene construction is acceptable for the service fluid and temperature range. Common install scenarios include water supply lines, compressed air distribution at low pressure, and instrumentation tubing runs. The NPTF thread type provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on thread sealant. The black color indicates standard polypropylene grade rather than UV-stabilized or specialty variants.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion on the OD end
• Swivel elbow allows final thread-in orientation without stressing the connected tube
• 3/8 inch OD tube port paired with 3/8 inch NPTF male thread
• 150 psi pressure rating for low-pressure fluid and pneumatic service
• Polypropylene body offers corrosion resistance in water and mild chemical service
• Compact profile at approximately 1.9 inches height and 1.9 inches length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting compatible with systems using 3/8 inch OD tubing and 3/8 inch NPTF male threaded ports in low-pressure plumbing, pneumatic, or fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Shut off fluid supply and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect port. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the NPTF threads as required by local plumbing code. Do not exceed the 150 psi pressure rating or install in service fluids incompatible with polypropylene.
