Parker 249IFHD-3-2 Brass Inverted Male Elbow 3/16 in

Product Description

The PARKER 249IFHD-3-2 is a 90-degree inverted male elbow fitting machined from brass. It connects a 3/16-inch OD flared tube to a male NPTF threaded port, making a right-angle transition in hydraulic or fluid-power line sets. The fitting is rated to 1900 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures up to 250 degrees F. It meets SAE J51 and carries a UL listing, making it suitable for applications where certified fittings are specified. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-power mechanics install this type of fitting when routing small-bore tubing around obstacles or making direction changes in tight spaces.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial systems where 3/16-inch OD flared tubing terminates at a threaded male port. Typical applications include refrigeration line sets, brake and fuel systems, and hydraulic control circuits. The 1/8-27 NPTF thread provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on thread sealant. Its compact overall length of 0.85 inches suits installations where space between components is limited.

Key Features

• 90-degree inverted male elbow geometry routes tubing at a right angle to the port
• Brass construction resists corrosion in wet and refrigerant-exposed environments
• Rated to 1900 psi maximum working pressure
• Maximum working temperature of 250 degrees F (121 degrees C)
• Flare x MNPTF end connections for a secure, leak-resistant joint
• Meets SAE J51 and is UL Listed for use in certified installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/16-inch OD flared tubing and 1/8-27 NPTF male threaded ports in hydraulic, refrigeration, or fluid-power systems requiring a 90-degree direction change.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or fluid-power mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Inspect the flare seat and threads for damage before assembly; a compromised flare or cross-threaded NPTF connection will not hold rated pressure. Thread sealant compatible with the system fluid may be applied to the NPTF threads per the system manufacturer's guidelines, though NPTF threads are designed to seal on thread interference alone.
