Parker W169PLP-4-2 90 Male Elbow 1/4 in Od 1/8 Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER W169PLP-4-2 is a push-to-connect 90-degree male elbow tube fitting designed for quick, tool-free tube connections in fluid and pneumatic systems. It accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing on both tube ports and terminates to a 1/8 inch NPTF male thread. The body is nickel-plated brass, offering corrosion resistance in a compact elbow profile. Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting handles a wide range of compressed air, instrumentation, and fluid-transfer applications. Nitrile O-rings provide reliable sealing across a service temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation mechanics typically install this fitting in light commercial and residential systems.

The W169PLP-4-2 is suited for installations where a 90-degree direction change is needed between a tube run and a male-threaded port. Common applications include compressed air distribution, pneumatic controls, refrigeration instrumentation lines, and hydraulic pilot circuits operating within the rated pressure and temperature envelope. The push-to-connect design allows fast field assembly without ferrules, compression sleeves, or separate fittings tools, making it practical for service calls and panel builds alike. Its compact elbow geometry works well in tight equipment enclosures where straight fittings and tubing bends cannot be accommodated.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect on both tube ports — no ferrules or additional tools required for tube insertion
• 90-degree male elbow configuration routes tubing perpendicular to a threaded port
• Nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in moisture-exposed environments
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Nitrile O-ring seals rated from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F service temperature
• NPTF thread form provides pressure-tight engagement without sealant tape on properly chased threads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for systems using 1/4 inch OD tubing with a 1/8 inch NPTF male thread port, suitable for compressed air, pneumatic instrumentation, and compatible fluid-transfer assemblies within the rated pressure and temperature range.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or instrumentation mechanics. Before installation, depressurize and isolate the system completely. Ensure the 1/8 inch NPTF port threads are clean and undamaged before engagement; inspect the receiving port for proper thread form to achieve a pressure-tight seal. Cut tubing square and deburr the OD before inserting into the push-to-connect port to avoid damage to the internal O-ring and collet. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31 piping standards for the specific fluid service.
