Parker W169PLP-8-6 90 Male Elbow Fitting 1/2in Od

Product Description

The PARKER W169PLP-8-6 is a push-to-connect 90-degree male elbow tube fitting designed for fast, tool-free tube connections in pneumatic and general-purpose fluid systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a nitrile O-ring, it accepts 1/2-inch OD tubing on the push-to-connect end and terminates with a 3/8-inch NPTF male thread. The fitting is rated to 300 psi and handles operating temperatures from 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The release button is made from a black flame-resistant material compliant with the UL94 V-0 standard. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics use this fitting when a 90-degree directional change is needed in a tube run without swaging or flaring.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where push-to-connect tube assemblies must transition to a male NPT port at a 90-degree angle. Typical install scenarios include pneumatic control lines, compressed air distribution, and general-purpose fluid lines. It is rated for general-purpose use and meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards, making it appropriate for regulated fluid and pneumatic system work. The compact elbow profile helps route tubing in tight equipment cabinets or panel enclosures.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement or new-installation fitting for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid systems using 1/2-inch OD tubing with a 3/8-inch NPTF male port connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician, plumber, or qualified mechanic familiar with pressurized tube systems. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure the tube end is cut squarely, deburred, and fully seated past the collet before pressurizing. Verify NPTF thread engagement and use appropriate thread sealant per system requirements and applicable codes.
