Value Collection SS-ME-FT8-MN8 Compression Male Elbow

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-ME-FT8-MN8 is a stainless steel compression tube male elbow designed to connect a 1/2-inch OD tube to a 1/2-inch male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this fitting delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding fluid and gas handling applications. The overall length is 1.42 inches. End connections are compression on the tube side and male NPT on the threaded side, providing a reliable, leak-resistant joint without welding or soldering. This fitting is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on instrumentation, process, or utility lines where stainless material is specified.

This elbow fitting is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and industrial instrumentation applications where a direction change is needed between a compression tube run and an NPT-threaded port. It performs well in systems handling water, hydraulic fluid, or compatible gases. The 316 stainless steel construction meets multiple ASTM and DIN standards, making it appropriate for corrosive environments or installations requiring material traceability. It ships as a single fitting with a minimum order quantity of one.

Key Features

• Compression x male NPT end connections eliminate the need for welding or soldering at the joint
• 1/2-inch tube OD compression end pairs with 1/2-inch male NPT threaded port
• Compact overall length of 1.42 inches suits tight installation spaces
• Single-unit packaging with no minimum order requirement above one piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tube systems using 1/2-inch OD tubing terminated to 1/2-inch male NPT threaded connections. Cross-references to Swagelok part number SS-810-2-8.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any existing fitting or making a new connection. Follow the compression fitting manufacturer torque and assembly procedure — do not overtighten, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal. Installations must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM material standards where specified by the job.
