Parker 150F-8-6 Brass 45 Deg Female Elbow 1/2 in Tube Od

Product Description

The PARKER 150F-8-6 is a brass 45-degree female elbow fitting designed for flared tube connections in refrigeration, HVAC, and fluid-handling systems. It transitions a 1/2-inch OD flared tube to a 3/8-18 NPTF female port, making it a reliable choice for routing tubing at a 45-degree angle where space is limited or a straight connection is not practical. Rated to 750 psi working pressure and a maximum working temperature of 250 degrees F, this fitting handles the demands of typical refrigerant and compressed-fluid circuits. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor service environments. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics are the primary installers of this component.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration line sets, and other fluid or gas circuits requiring a flared tube-to-female NPT transition at a 45-degree angle. The Flare x FNPTF end configuration connects a SAE 45-degree flared tube on one end to a female NPTF threaded port on the other, covering common installation scenarios where tubing must change direction before entering a manifold, valve body, or equipment port. It is sold individually and is appropriate as a replacement or new-installation component in any system where these end connections and pressure ratings are compatible.

Key Features

• 45-degree female elbow geometry for direction changes in tight spaces
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance for refrigerant and fluid service
• Rated to 750 psi maximum working pressure
• Maximum working temperature of 250 degrees F (121 degrees C)
• Flare x FNPTF ends per SAE J512 and SAE J513 standards
• UL Listed; meets SAE J512 and SAE J513 specifications

Compatibility

Designed for use in systems requiring a 1/2-inch OD SAE 45-degree flared tube connection to a 3/8-18 NPTF female port. Suitable as an OEM-style or replacement fitting in refrigeration lines, HVAC equipment connections, and similar fluid or gas circuits where Flare x FNPTF fittings at a 45-degree angle are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified refrigeration mechanic. Shut off and recover all system refrigerant or depressurize the fluid circuit completely before removing or installing fittings. Ensure the mating flared tube end is properly formed to SAE 45-degree specifications before seating to prevent leaks. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPTF threads as required; do not overtighten, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
