Parker W169PLPNS-8-6 90 Male Elbow 1/2 in Od 3/8 Nptf Brass

Product Description

The PARKER W169PLPNS-8-6 is a push-to-connect 90-degree male elbow tube fitting manufactured from nickel-plated brass. It accepts tubing with a 1/2 inch outside diameter on both tube ports and connects to a 3/8 inch NPTF male threaded port, making it suited for routing pneumatic or fluid lines through a right-angle change in direction. The fitting is rated to 300 psi and carries a working temperature range of 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The push-to-connect mechanism uses a nitrile O-ring seal and a black flame-resistant button that meets the UL94 V-0 flame resistance standard. Installation requires no tools on the tube side — tubing seats and locks in a single push.

This fitting is designed for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid-line applications across HVAC, refrigeration, automotive brake line, and industrial plumbing systems. It is compliant with D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844, making it appropriate for use in systems where those standards govern tubing and fitting selection. The Tube x MNPT x Tube x Male connection configuration allows inline tapping into a manifold or ported block while maintaining two push-to-connect tube ports at a 90-degree orientation.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect tube ports accept 1/2 inch OD tubing with no tools required on the tube side
• 3/8 inch NPTF male threaded end for leak-resistant tapered thread engagement
• 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Nickel-plated brass construction for corrosion resistance in general-purpose service
• Nitrile O-ring seals rated for 0 degrees F to 200 degrees F working temperature range
• Black flame-resistant button compliant with UL94 V-0 standard

Compatibility

Rated for general-purpose pneumatic and fluid-line service. Compliant with D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844. Suitable for use with compatible 1/2 inch OD tubing in systems that fall within the rated pressure and temperature limits.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or pneumatic system technicians. Shut down system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the NPTF threaded end is properly engaged with thread sealant or PTFE tape as appropriate for the application and local code requirements. To release tubing from the push-to-connect port, depress the collet ring before pulling the tubing free — do not pull tubing without depressing the collet, as this can damage the internal locking mechanism.
