Parker 2 Vtx-s Steel Male 45 Elbow 1/8 in Flare X Mnptf

Product Description

The PARKER 2 VTX-S is a steel male 45-degree elbow fitting designed for flared tube connections in high-pressure fluid and gas systems. It features a 37-degree flare seat with Flare x MNPTF end connections, accepting a 1/8-inch tube OD and a 1/8-inch NPTF male thread. Rated to 6,000 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for service up to 500 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic applications. It meets ISO 8434-2, SAE 070302, and SAE J514 standards, making it appropriate for use in precision-assembled tubing systems across HVAC, refrigeration, and industrial fluid power applications.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial systems wherever a 45-degree directional change is needed in a hard-tube line. Typical installations include refrigerant lines, hydraulic circuits, and compressed-air tubing assemblies. The Flare x MNPTF configuration allows connection between a flared tube and a female NPTF port. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydraulic system technicians install this fitting during new construction, system retrofits, and service calls requiring tube routing changes.

Key Features

• 45-degree male elbow with 37-degree flare seat for precise tube-to-port direction change
• Flare x MNPTF ends accommodate 1/8-inch tube OD to 1/8-inch NPTF female port connections
• Rated to 6,000 psi maximum dynamic working pressure
• Rated for continuous service up to 500 degrees F
• Steel construction for durability in high-pressure and elevated-temperature environments
• Compliant with ISO 8434-2, SAE 070302, and SAE J514 standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in flared tube systems requiring a 37-degree flare seat with 1/8-inch NPTF male thread connections, consistent with SAE J514 flare fitting specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use appropriate flaring tools to ensure the tube end meets the 37-degree flare angle required by this fitting; an improper flare will compromise the seal and pressure rating. Thread engagement should follow NPTF assembly practices per applicable standards.
