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

Product Description

The PARKER 249IFHD-8-8 is a 90-degree inverted male elbow fitting machined from brass, designed to connect flared tubing to a male NPTF threaded port. It accepts a 1/2-inch tube OD on the flare end and threads into a 1/2-14 NPTF female port on the male end. With a maximum working pressure of 750 psi and a maximum working temperature of 250 degrees F, this fitting is suited for hydraulic, fuel, and refrigeration line applications where a reliable, leak-resistant connection is required. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydraulic system installers typically specify this type of fitting for hard-line tube routing that requires a directional change at a threaded port.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications involving hydraulic systems, fuel delivery lines, and refrigeration circuits that rely on flared tube connections. The 90-degree elbow geometry is commonly chosen when routing constraints require a right-angle turn at the threaded interface. It is sold individually, making it appropriate for single-point repairs or new installations where exact quantities are controlled. The SAE J51 and UL Listed ratings indicate suitability for applications where recognized industry standards are required.

Key Features

• 90-degree inverted male elbow geometry for right-angle tube-to-port routing
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in fuel, hydraulic, and refrigeration service
• 750 psi maximum working pressure for demanding hydraulic and pressurized fluid applications
• Rated to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) maximum working temperature
• Flare x MNPTF end connections per SAE J51 standard
• UL Listed for applications requiring recognized safety certification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style flare fitting for hydraulic, fuel, and refrigeration tubing systems using 1/2-inch OD flared tube connections to 1/2-14 NPTF threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified hydraulic system technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tube flares are formed correctly and free of cracks or deformation before assembly, as inverted flare connections rely on metal-to-metal seating for leak-free performance. Refer to applicable SAE, IFGC, or system-specific torque and pressure test requirements upon completion.
