Parker 270NTA-8-6 Compression Female Elbow 3/8 in Fnpt

Product Description

The PARKER 270NTA-8-6 is a brass compression tube female elbow fitting designed to connect tubing to a female NPT threaded port in a 90-degree configuration. It uses a compression-style tube connection on one end and a 3/8-inch FNPT threaded connection on the other, allowing a secure, leak-resistant joint without soldering or flaring. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and capable of handling temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting suits a range of fluid and gas line applications. Licensed plumbing and HVAC technicians are the primary installers.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic tubing installations where a direction change from a compression tube run to a female NPT port is required. The 90-degree elbow orientation is useful in tight spaces or where routing tubing straight into a threaded port is not practical. The brass construction makes it appropriate for use with water, air, and compatible hydraulic or refrigerant-adjacent fluid lines within its rated pressure and temperature range.

Key Features

• Compression x FNPT end connections for tool-accessible, no-solder assembly
• 3/8-inch thread size with NPTF thread standard for reliable sealing
• 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• 0.338-inch inside diameter for consistent flow path

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a 3/8-inch FNPT female connection with a compression tube inlet in a 90-degree elbow configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off the fluid or gas supply and relieve system pressure before disconnecting or installing any compression fitting. Use an appropriately sized tubing cutter to ensure a clean, square tube end before seating in the compression fitting. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
