Parker 159F-8-8 Brass 45 Male Flare Elbow 1/2 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER 159F-8-8 is a brass 45-degree male flare elbow fitting designed for use in flared tube connections requiring a directional change. It features a Flare x MNPTF end configuration, connecting a 1/2-inch OD flared tube to a 1/2-14 NPTF male threaded port. Rated for up to 750 psi working pressure and 250 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding fluid and gas line applications. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing in both high-pressure and temperature-sensitive environments. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics install this type of fitting in fuel, refrigerant, and hydraulic line assemblies.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration systems where a 45-degree change of direction is required between a flared tube and an NPTF-threaded male port. Typical applications include fuel gas lines, refrigerant piping, and hydraulic circuits where SAE J512 and SAE J513 flare standards are specified. It is sold individually and is appropriate for new installations as well as service and repair work.

Key Features

• 45-degree male elbow configuration for precise directional routing of tubing
• Flare x MNPTF end connection compatible with SAE J512 and SAE J513 flare standards
• Brass construction resists corrosion in fuel, refrigerant, and hydraulic service
• Rated to 750 psi maximum working pressure
• Maximum working temperature of 250 degrees F (121 degrees C)
• UL Listed; meets SAE J512, SAE J513 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for systems requiring a 1/2-inch OD flared tube connection to a 1/2-14 NPTF male port at a 45-degree angle, in accordance with SAE J512 and SAE J513 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified refrigeration mechanic in accordance with applicable codes including IFGC and IPC. Shut off all fluid or gas supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing any fittings. Flare connections require properly flared tubing ends; inspect the flare seat for damage before assembly. Do not overtighten — apply only hand-snug plus the manufacturer-recommended turns as appropriate for the tube material and flare type.
