Parker 270AB-8-8 Compression Female Elbow 1/2-14 Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 270AB-8-8 is a brass compression tube female elbow fitting designed to connect compression tubing to female NPT threaded ports at a 90-degree angle. Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of fluid and pneumatic line applications. Constructed from brass, it meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards. The 1/2-14 NPTF thread and 0.408-inch inside diameter accommodate standard compression tube sizes. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid system technicians typically install this fitting during brake line, pneumatic, or hydraulic tubing work.

This elbow fitting is used in residential, commercial, and mobile equipment applications where a direction change is needed between a compression tube and a female NPT threaded port. Common install scenarios include pneumatic control lines, hydraulic brake systems, and fluid transfer assemblies. Its DOT and SAE certifications make it especially appropriate for vehicle and heavy-equipment brake system plumbing governed by federal motor vehicle safety standards.

Key Features

• Compression x FNPT end connections allow tool-free tube-to-port transitions at 90 degrees
• 400 psi maximum working pressure rated for demanding fluid system service
• Operating temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Brass construction resists corrosion in pneumatic and hydraulic environments
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards for brake and fluid system compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube female elbow for pneumatic, hydraulic, and brake fluid line assemblies requiring a 1/2-14 NPTF female port connection on compression-style tubing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified fluid systems mechanic. Always depressurize and bleed the system fully before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the compression sleeve and nut are properly seated on the tubing before tightening to avoid leaks. Refer to SAE J246 and applicable DOT regulations for brake system installations on motor vehicles.
