Parker 270NTA-8-8 Compression Female Elbow 1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 270NTA-8-8 is a brass compression tube female elbow fitting designed to connect a compression tube end to a female NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. It carries a 1/2 inch thread size with NPTF thread standard and is constructed from brass for reliable sealing and corrosion resistance in fluid and air line applications. The fitting is rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards, making it appropriate for brake and hydraulic line service as well as general pneumatic and refrigerant-adjacent plumbing installations.

This fitting is used in applications where a tube line must transition to a female NPT threaded port at a right angle. Typical installations include automotive brake systems, mobile hydraulic circuits, commercial HVAC refrigerant or pneumatic control lines, and industrial fluid distribution systems. The compression end allows for tool-assisted tube retention without soldering or flaring, making it suitable for field service work where quick, leak-free connections are required. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mobile equipment mechanics are the primary installers.

Key Features

• Compression x FNPT end connections for tool-assisted, no-solder installation
• 1/2 inch NPTF thread standard for positive sealing fit
• 150 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard compression-to-FNPT replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a 1/2 inch female NPT port connection with a compression tube inlet, conforming to D.O.T. and SAE fluid fitting standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified mechanic following applicable codes. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Use a backup wrench on the FNPT port to avoid twisting downstream components, and verify tube cut is square and free of burrs before seating the compression ferrule. Do not overtighten the compression nut; follow the fitting manufacturer's turn-past-finger-tight procedure appropriate for brass compression fittings.
