Parker W169PLPNS-6-6 90 Male Elbow Fitting 3/8 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER W169PLPNS-6-6 is a push-to-connect 90-degree male elbow tube fitting designed for fast, tool-free tube connections in fluid and pneumatic systems. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, it handles a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 to 200 degrees F. The fitting accepts 3/8-inch OD tubing on the push-to-connect ends and threads into a 3/8-inch NPTF male port. The black actuator button is made from a flame-resistant material rated to UL94 V-0, and the internal O-ring seal is nitrile. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic system installers use this type of fitting where a 90-degree change of direction is needed without soldering or compression tooling.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving compressed air, water, or compatible fluid lines routed through tight spaces or panel enclosures. The push-to-connect design allows quick tube insertion and positive retention, while the male NPT thread end makes direct connection to ported valves, manifolds, solenoids, and other threaded components. It is particularly useful in HVAC control systems, pneumatic actuator lines, and plumbing sub-assemblies where angle routing reduces stress on tubing runs.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design — no tools required for tube insertion or release
• 90-degree male elbow configuration routes tubing at right angles to threaded ports
• Nickel-plated brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range: 0 to 200 degrees F
• UL94 V-0 rated flame-resistant actuator button
• Nitrile O-ring seal for compatibility with air and water media

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch OD tubing on push-to-connect ends and 3/8-inch NPTF male threaded ports. Suitable as a direct-fit component in pneumatic and fluid systems requiring a 90-degree tube-to-male-NPT connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and deburred before insertion into the push-to-connect end to achieve a proper seal. Verify thread compatibility with the mating port before installation, as NPTF threads require proper engagement for a pressure-tight joint.
