Parker 249IFHD-10-8 Brass Inverted Male Elbow 5/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER 249IFHD-10-8 is a 90-degree inverted male elbow fitting machined from brass for use in flared tube assemblies. It connects a 5/8-inch OD flared tube to a 1/2-14 NPTF male threaded port, making a direction change in tight plumbing runs while maintaining a leak-resistant sealed connection. The fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 650 psi and a maximum working temperature of 250 degrees F, making it suitable for hydraulic, fuel, refrigeration, and pneumatic line work. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and hydraulic system installers use this fitting when routing tubing through equipment where a straight connection is not practical.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications where SAE J51 flare connections meet NPT-threaded ports. Typical install scenarios include refrigerant line routing, fuel delivery systems, hydraulic return lines, and compressed-air plumbing where a 90-degree change of direction is required at a threaded male port. The compact brass body makes it appropriate for installations where space is limited and corrosion resistance matters.

Key Features

• 90-degree inverted male elbow routes tubing at a right angle to a threaded port
• Flare x MNPTF end connections for leak-resistant assembly without sealant tape on the flare side
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing in fluid and gas service
• Rated to 650 psi maximum working pressure
• Rated to 250 degrees F maximum working temperature
• Meets SAE J51 and is UL Listed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for flared tube assemblies using 5/8-inch OD tubing and 1/2-14 NPTF threaded ports in hydraulic, refrigeration, fuel, and pneumatic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician, plumber, or hydraulic systems technician familiar with flared tube fittings and NPT threaded connections. Depressurize and isolate the system before disassembly or installation. The flare connection relies on the integrity of the tube flare — inspect the flare seat for damage before assembly and do not overtighten, as brass threads are susceptible to galling. Apply an appropriate thread sealant to the NPTF male threads per the system fluid compatibility requirements.
