Parker 249IFHD-8-6 Brass Inverted Male Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER 249IFHD-8-6 is a 90-degree inverted male elbow fitting machined from brass. It connects a 1/2-inch OD flared tube to a 3/8-18 NPTF male thread, providing a secure, leak-resistant transition in hydraulic and fluid-power line assemblies. The inverted flare design seats metal-to-metal, eliminating the need for thread sealant on the flare end. Rated to 750 psi maximum working pressure and 250 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding service in mobile equipment, refrigeration, and compressed-air or fuel-line applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydraulic system technicians are the typical installers.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial systems where a direction change is needed in a flared-tube run. Common applications include fuel lines, hydraulic control circuits, refrigeration copper tubing connections, and pneumatic distribution lines where an inverted flare interface mates to a standard NPTF port. The 90-degree angle makes it practical in tight-clearance installations where a straight fitting cannot route tubing without excessive bending. No specific OEM model compatibility is stated by the supplier for this fitting.

Key Features

• 90-degree inverted male elbow geometry for direction changes in confined spaces
• Brass construction resists corrosion in hydraulic fluid, fuel, and refrigerant service
• Flare x MNPTF end connections — metal-to-metal flare seat on tube end
• 750 psi maximum working pressure rating
• 250 degrees F maximum working temperature
• Meets SAE J51 standard; UL Listed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/2-inch OD inverted flare tubing and 3/8-18 NPTF ported components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed technician qualified for the fluid system being serviced — hydraulic, refrigeration, fuel, or pneumatic. De-pressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Use a backup wrench on the body to avoid twisting the tubing during tightening. Do not apply thread sealant or tape to the inverted flare seat; sealant is appropriate only on the NPTF male threads if required by the application.
