Parker W169PLP-6-4 90 Male Elbow 3/8 Od 1/4 Nptf Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER W169PLP-6-4 is a push-to-connect 90-degree male elbow tube fitting designed for fast, tool-free tube connections in pneumatic and fluid transfer systems. It connects a 3/8-inch OD tube on each push-to-connect port to a 1/4-inch NPTF male threaded port, making a 90-degree directional change in a single compact body. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a nitrile O-ring, it is rated to 300 psi and handles working temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Licensed trades including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fluid-system mechanics install this fitting in general-purpose pneumatic and liquid-line applications where a reliable, leak-resistant elbow connection is needed.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial systems where 3/8-inch OD tubing must change direction and terminate at a 1/4-inch male NPT port. Typical applications include compressed air lines, pneumatic control circuits, and general-purpose fluid transfer plumbing. The push-to-connect design allows tubing to be inserted and locked without threading or ferrule compression, reducing labor time on installations. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards, making it appropriate for systems where documented compliance is required.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design on both tube ports — no ferrules or wrenches required for tube insertion
• 90-degree male elbow routes tubing at a right angle to a 1/4-inch NPTF male thread
• Nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion in general-purpose service environments
• Nitrile O-ring sealing maintains integrity across the rated temperature range
• 300 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose use with 3/8-inch OD tubing and 1/4-inch NPTF male threaded ports. Suitable for pneumatic and fluid transfer systems operating within the rated pressure and temperature limits.

Installation Notes

Thread the NPTF male port into the mating female NPT fitting by hand first, then tighten with a wrench — use of thread sealant compatible with the system fluid is standard practice. Depressurize and de-energize the system completely before servicing any fitting. For push-to-connect ports, ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before insertion, and verify the tube is fully seated and locked before returning the system to pressure. Follow applicable pneumatic and plumbing codes for the installation jurisdiction.
