Brass Push-to-Connect (PLC) Male Swivel Elbow 90 Degree - 3/8" Tube x 3/8" NPT - Eaton 1869X6X6S Parker 169PMT66 177.13B696C

Make a full-size 90 without choking the line using this Brass Push-to-Connect (PLC) Male Swivel Elbow distributed by FleetPro Parts & Tires. It pairs a 3/8 in tube end with a 3/8 in swivel male NPT pipe end in a 90 degree elbow — a straight-through size match, so the line turns at the component without stepping down and giving up flow. Tubing bent to a hard radius to reach its port work-hardens and splits, and a weeping elbow bleeds the system down all day: the compressor cycles constantly, the low-air warning shows up on a grade, and an audible leak on a brake circuit is what takes a truck out of service at the scale. We stock these heavily right here in our Hanover Park, Illinois warehouse to ensure lightning-fast shipping for fleets, diesel repair shops, and owner-operators nationwide.

Full-Size Flow Through the Corner: The 3/8 in Swivel Elbow Advantage

Matching 3/8 in on both ends is the point of this one. Nothing necks down inside the fitting, so the line delivers what it was sized to deliver even where it has to turn. Construction is brass body and collet, which is what keeps the joint serviceable: brass does not scale and seize into the port the way plated steel does after a few winters of road salt and washdowns, and a brass collet will not go brittle and release the tube the way an economy plastic collet can.

The swivel pipe end lets you seat the 3/8 in male NPT thread properly and then rotate the elbow to aim the tube run, instead of accepting whatever angle the thread lands on and twisting the tubing to make up the difference. It meets FMVSS 571.106 and DOT requirements for brake circuits, and at a listed 0.12 lbs and 1.75 x 1.75 x 0.75 in there is no reason not to keep a spare in the truck box.

At FleetPro Parts & Tires, we know the number on the old fitting is how this gets ordered. This elbow is a direct replacement for highly searched industry numbers including Eaton 1869X6X6S and Parker 169PMT66. It ships new and is backed by our 1-Year FleetPro Warranty.
