Parker W169PLPNS-5-4 90 Male Elbow 5/16 Od 1/4 Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER W169PLPNS-5-4 is a push-to-connect 90 degree male elbow tube fitting designed for fast, tool-free tube connections in pneumatic and fluid systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it accepts 5/16 inch OD tubing on both push-to-connect ends and threads into a 1/4 inch NPTF male port. The fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F up to 200 degrees F. The integrated push-to-connect mechanism allows quick tube insertion and secure retention without ferrules or compression sleeves, making it a practical choice for technicians working in tight routing applications.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic control lines, instrumentation tubing, and HVAC equipment where a 90 degree direction change is needed between a tube run and a threaded male port. Typical install scenarios include connecting control tubing to valve bodies, manifolds, or sensor ports. The nitrile O-ring provides reliable sealing across the rated temperature and pressure range. The push-to-connect button is made from black flame-resistant material that meets the UL94 V-0 flame-resistant standard, making it appropriate for installations where flame-spread requirements apply.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect elbow fitting for pneumatic control tubing and instrumentation lines accepting 5/16 inch OD tubing with a 1/4 inch NPTF male threaded port connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or instrumentation mechanics. Depressurize the system fully and isolate all fluid or air supply before removing or installing fittings. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before inserting into the push-to-connect port to achieve a proper seal. NPTF threads are self-sealing by design, but verify thread engagement and check for leaks after restoring system pressure.
