Boshart BC-69-0606NL No-Lead Brass Compression x MPT Elbow

The Boshart BC-69-0606NL is a no-lead brass compression x MPT elbow sized 3/8" CP x 3/8" MPT, built for rough-in plumbers and contractors who need a reliable directional transition between compression tubing and male-threaded pipe. This elbow is rated for low to medium pressure applications and is compatible with copper, brass, aluminum, plastic, CPVC, and PEX tubing, making it a flexible choice for gasoline, grease, oil, water, vacuum, and air lines behind the wall or under the floor. The compression side accepts 3/8" CP tubing while the opposite leg terminates in a 3/8" MPT connection for threading directly into a fitting, valve, or fixture supply. Packaged 25 pieces per box, this elbow is stocked for jobs that call for repeat installs across multiple fixture rough-ins.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 3/8" CP x 3/8" MPT for direct tubing-to-threaded-pipe transitions in tight rough-in spaces.
  • Durable Construction: No-lead brass body resists corrosion and holds up under repeated tightening in low to medium pressure lines.
  • Compression x MPT Connection: One leg accepts compression tubing while the other threads into male iron pipe (MPT) connections, no soldering required.
  • Broad Tubing Compatibility: Works with copper, brass, aluminum, plastic, CPVC, and PEX tubing on the compression side.
  • Multi-Use Application: Suitable for gasoline, grease, oil, water, vacuum, and air lines in low to medium pressure service.
  • Vibration Resistance Tip: Use of a long nut is recommended in this fitting family where vibration is present, for added holding resistance.
  • No-Lead Compliant: Manufactured from no-lead brass alloy for potable-water-adjacent rough-in applications where no-lead materials are specified.

Technical Specifications

  • Trade Size: 3/8" CP x 3/8" MPT
  • Product Material: No-Lead Brass
  • Connection Type: Compression x MPT

Why Boshart?

Boshart compression fittings are built in no-lead brass for plumbers who need dependable transitions between tubing and threaded pipe without soldering on the job site. This elbow's compatibility across copper, brass, aluminum, plastic, CPVC, and PEX tubing gives contractors a single fitting that can be stocked for multiple job types, while the recommended use of a long nut in vibration-prone runs helps installers avoid callbacks. Packaged in quantities of 25, the BC-69-0606NL is sized for crews running repeat rough-in work across residential and commercial projects.

Boshart BC-69-0606NL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Boshart BC-69-0606NL elbow work on 3/8 inch PEX or CPVC tubing, or is it copper only?
The compression leg on the BC-69-0606NL takes 3/8 inch tubing in copper, brass, aluminum, plastic, CPVC or PEX. It is not a copper-only fitting. With plastic and PEX you still want an insert stiffener in the tube so the ferrule has something solid to bite on, which is standard practice on any compression joint to soft tubing.
2) Is the 3/8 inch MPT side on this Boshart elbow a pipe thread or a compression thread?
That leg is 3/8 inch male pipe thread (MPT), so it threads into a female iron pipe port on a stop valve, fitting or fixture supply. Tapered pipe thread needs sealant or tape; do not try to mate it to a compression nut. The other leg is 3/8 inch compression tubing, making the fitting a compression x MPT transition.
3) Can I use a no-lead brass compression elbow on potable water lines?
The BC-69-0606NL is made from no-lead brass, which is what inspectors look for on potable water rough-in. It is also used on water, air, vacuum, oil, grease and gasoline lines in low to medium pressure service, so one fitting covers several trades' needs.
4) Do I need to solder this Boshart elbow in?
No torch needed. The BC-69-0606NL is a mechanical joint: slip the nut and ferrule over the 3/8 inch tube, seat it in the compression leg and tighten, then thread the 3/8 inch MPT leg into the mating port. That is why it gets used for behind-the-wall and under-floor transitions where an open flame is a problem.
5) What holds up better on a line that vibrates, like a pump or compressor feed?
On vibration-prone runs Boshart recommends using a long compression nut with this family of fittings for extra holding resistance on the tube. Standard nut is fine for a static fixture supply; if the line pulses or the equipment shakes, order the long nut version of the nut and sleeve separately, since the elbow itself is the body only.
6) Is this elbow rated for high pressure lines?
No. The BC-69-0606NL is rated for low to medium pressure service only. For high pressure hydraulic or compressed-gas work you need a fitting specifically rated for that duty, not a compression elbow of this type.
7) How is the BC-69-0606NL packaged if I only need one or two?
It comes 25 pieces per box, which is how it is stocked for crews doing repeat fixture rough-ins. If you are buying for a single repair, keep in mind the box quantity when you order.
8) What is the exact part number and order identifier for this Boshart 3/8 compression elbow?
Order it as Boshart BC-69-0606NL, a no-lead brass compression elbow, 3/8 inch CP x 3/8 inch MPT. That single size is the only configuration of this model.
