Value Collection SS-ME-FT6-MN4 Compression Male Elbow

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-ME-FT6-MN4 is a stainless steel compression tube male elbow designed to connect 3/8-inch OD tubing to a 1/4-inch male NPT threaded port. The fitting transitions between a compression-style tube end and an MNPT threaded end in a 90-degree elbow configuration. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel to ASTM A182, ASTM A276, and ASTM A479 standards, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for demanding fluid and gas service applications. Overall length is 1.2 inches. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this fitting in process, instrumentation, and HVAC-related tubing systems.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial applications where stainless steel tubing must connect at a right angle to an NPT-threaded port. Typical install scenarios include instrument tubing runs, refrigeration or cooling system sensing lines, compressed air systems, and hydraulic or pneumatic control circuits. The compression end accepts 3/8-inch OD tubing without welding or flaring, making field assembly straightforward. The MNPT end threads directly into standard NPT-tapped fittings, valves, or manifolds.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement compression tube male elbow compatible with systems using 3/8-inch OD tubing and 1/4-inch NPT female-threaded ports. Listed as equivalent to Swagelok part number SS-600-2-4.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or qualified instrumentation technician in accordance with applicable codes including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for pressure piping. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing is cut square, deburred, and fully bottomed into the compression body before tightening the nut. Do not overtighten the compression nut; follow the applicable fitting manufacturer torque and turns-past-finger-tight guidelines for the tubing material and wall thickness in use.
