Parker W169PLP-4-6 90 Male Elbow Fitting 1/4in Od

Product Description

The PARKER W169PLP-4-6 is a push-to-connect 90-degree male elbow tube fitting designed for quick, tool-free tube connections in pneumatic and fluid transfer systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it connects 1/4-inch OD tubing to a 3/8-inch NPTF male thread at a 90-degree angle. The fitting is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The push-to-connect mechanism uses a black flame-resistant button that meets UL94 V-0 standards, allowing fast tube insertion and secure retention without ferrules or compression tools. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic systems installers commonly use this fitting in control line and instrument tubing applications.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving 1/4-inch OD tubing routed to NPTF-ported components such as valves, manifolds, solenoids, and pneumatic actuators. The 90-degree elbow geometry helps route tubing in tight spaces where straight fittings cannot clear enclosures or adjacent components. The nitrile O-ring seal provides compatibility with air, water, and a range of common hydraulic fluids. This part is sold individually and ships as a single-piece unit.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement fitting for pneumatic and fluid control systems requiring a 1/4-inch OD tube connection to a 3/8-inch NPTF male port at a 90-degree angle.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified pneumatic systems technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the OD is free of burrs or damage before inserting into the push-to-connect port. Verify thread engagement on the NPTF male connection and inspect the O-ring seat for debris prior to assembly.
