Parker 249IFHD-6-2 Brass Inverted Male Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER 249IFHD-6-2 is a 90-degree inverted male elbow fitting machined from brass, designed to transition a flared tube connection to a male NPTF threaded port. It accepts a 3/8 inch tube OD on the flare end and connects to a 1/8-27 NPTF male thread on the opposite end. Rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for temperatures up to 250 degrees F, this fitting handles demanding fluid and gas line applications. It measures 1.13 inches in overall length and weighs 0.09 pounds. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics typically specify this fitting where a direction change and thread transition are required in a single component.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant lines, hydraulic systems, and fuel line assemblies where a 90-degree change of direction is needed between a flared tube and an NPTF-ported component. The inverted flare design provides a reliable, leak-resistant seat without the need for additional sealant on the flare side. It is sold individually and is suited for both new installations and service replacement work on existing systems.

Key Features

• 90-degree inverted male elbow geometry for direction change in tight spaces
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and machinability
• 1000 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Temperature range up to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C)
• Flare x MNPTF end connections for versatile tube-to-port transitions
• Meets SAE J51 standard and is UL Listed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 3/8 inch OD flared tubing with a 1/8-27 NPTF ported component requiring a 90-degree transition.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified refrigeration mechanic. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling any fittings. The NPTF thread is a dry-seal design, but follow applicable code guidance under IPC or IFGC when determining whether thread sealant is required for the specific fluid or gas service. Do not overtighten; hand-snug plus the appropriate number of turns per trade practice for the thread size is sufficient to achieve a proper seal without distorting the fitting body.
