Parker 149F-8-8 Brass 45 Degree Male Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER 149F-8-8 is a brass 45-degree flared tube male elbow fitting designed for use in fluid and refrigeration line connections requiring a reliable angled transition. It features a flare-by-male-NPTF (Flare x MNPTF) end configuration, accepting 1/2-inch tube OD on the flare end and a 1/2-14 NPTF threaded connection on the male end. Rated to 750 psi maximum working pressure and up to 250 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding service in HVAC, refrigeration, and hydraulic plumbing applications. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and machinability for consistent sealing performance.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration equipment, and plumbing assemblies where a 45-degree directional change is needed between a flared tube and a male pipe thread port. It is typically installed by HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and licensed plumbers when routing refrigerant lines, hydraulic tubing, or fluid service lines into threaded ports on valves, manifolds, or equipment housings. The compact elbow geometry helps manage tight routing in equipment cabinets and mechanical rooms.

Key Features

• 45-degree flared angle allows directional routing with minimal line stress
• Flare x MNPTF end connection suits common refrigeration and fluid-line configurations
• Rated to 750 psi maximum working pressure for demanding service conditions
• Maximum working temperature of 250 degrees F
• Brass construction resists corrosion and provides reliable thread engagement
• Meets SAE J512, SAE J513, and UL Listing standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems using 1/2-inch OD flared tubing with 1/2-14 NPTF male pipe thread connections, conforming to SAE J512 and SAE J513 flare fitting standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician, refrigeration mechanic, or licensed plumber. De-pressurize and isolate the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Ensure the flare on the tubing is properly formed to SAE J512 specifications before tightening to avoid leaks at the flare seat. Do not over-tighten the NPTF threads; apply thread sealant appropriate for the service fluid if required by system specifications.
