Parker 149F-10-8 Brass 45 Degree Male Elbow Flare Mnptf

Product Description

The PARKER 149F-10-8 is a 45-degree male elbow tube fitting machined from brass, designed to connect a 5/8-inch OD flared tube to a 1/2-14 NPTF male threaded port. The flare end conforms to SAE J512 and SAE J513 standards, ensuring a reliable metal-to-metal seal when properly torqued. Rated to 650 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for service up to 250 degrees F, this fitting handles refrigerant, hydraulic, fuel, and pneumatic lines commonly found in HVAC, refrigeration, and fluid-power systems. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This elbow is used where a 45-degree directional change is required between a flared tubing line and an NPTF-threaded male port. Typical installations include refrigerant line sets, fuel delivery lines, and hydraulic circuits where space constraints prevent a straight connection. The Flare x MNPTF end configuration allows direct engagement with standard NPT female ports on valves, manifolds, and equipment fittings. Its compact brass construction makes it suitable for tight-clearance panel and equipment enclosure installations common in commercial refrigeration and HVAC equipment.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for directional routing in confined spaces

• 1/2-14 NPTF male thread for leak-resistant dry-seal engagement
• Rated to 650 psi maximum working pressure
• Rated for service up to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C)
• UL Listed; meets SAE J512, SAE J513 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting compatible with 5/8-inch OD flared tubing systems using 1/2-14 NPTF male threaded connections in HVAC, refrigeration, fuel, and fluid-power applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician, plumber, or pipefitter familiar with flare fittings and NPTF thread engagement. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use a calibrated flaring tool to ensure the tube flare seats squarely against the fitting cone; an improperly formed flare is the leading cause of leaks at this connection type. NPTF threads are designed for dry-seal assembly without sealant tape, but follow the equipment manufacturer or applicable code guidance for your specific application.
