Parker 170VL-4-2 Compression Female Elbow Brass 600 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 170VL-4-2 is a brass compression tube female elbow fitting designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies where a direction change is required at a threaded port connection. Built to PARKER Vibra-Lok compression style, the fitting creates a secure, leak-resistant joint without soldering or flaring. It connects a compression tube end to a 1/8-27 FNPT female thread, and is rated to a maximum working pressure of 600 psi. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of media. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial piping professionals are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This elbow fitting is used in residential and commercial applications where tubing must transition to a female NPT port at a 90-degree angle. Typical installations include instrument lines, control tubing, refrigeration accessories, fuel lines, and hydraulic or pneumatic control circuits. The Vibra-Lok compression style is suited for environments with vibration or where repeat service access is needed. The fitting meets ISO 6149 and SAE J1926 standards, making it appropriate for applications requiring compliance with those specifications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube female elbow fitting for fluid, pneumatic, and instrumentation line assemblies requiring a 1/8-27 FNPT port connection with a Vibra-Lok compression tube end.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC or instrumentation technician following applicable codes including IFGC and IPC where relevant. Depressurize and isolate the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Use appropriate tube cutters and deburring tools to ensure a clean, square tube end before seating the compression ferrule. Do not over-tighten the compression nut, as brass fittings are susceptible to thread and ferrule damage from excessive torque.
