The fitting accepts 1\/4-inch tube OD and threads into a 1\/4-inch NPTF port at a 45-degree elbow angle, allowing directional routing of tubing in tight installations. Machined from steel for durability in high-pressure environments, it carries a maximum working pressure rating of 5,000 psi. The flareless bite-type design grips the tube mechanically without requiring a flare, simplifying assembly in the field. This fitting is installed by licensed hydraulic system technicians and fluid-power mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elbow fitting is suited for use in hydraulic lines, fluid-power circuits, and instrumentation tubing systems where a 45-degree directional change is needed at a threaded port. Typical applications include industrial machinery, mobile hydraulic equipment, and high-pressure fluid-transfer systems. The NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on a sealant. The 1\/4-inch tube OD size is commonly found in instrument-grade and light hydraulic plumbing. The single-piece steel construction makes it appropriate for use in environments with vibration or mechanical stress where flared connections may loosen over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlareless bite-type design grips 1\/4-inch tube OD mechanically without a flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree elbow angle with a 24-degree flared seat for directional routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch NPTF male thread for pressure-tight port connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5,000 psi maximum working pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction for strength and resistance to mechanical stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install flareless bite-type fitting for hydraulic and fluid-power systems using 1\/4-inch OD tubing and 1\/4-inch NPTF ported components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is installed by qualified hydraulic technicians or fluid-power mechanics. Depressurize and bleed the hydraulic circuit fully before removing any existing fittings or connecting new ones. Use appropriate thread sealant or verify NPTF thread engagement is sufficient for the system pressure requirements per applicable standards. Follow the tube fitting manufacturer's assembly procedure for flareless bite-type fittings, including the proper number of turns past finger-tight, to ensure the ferrule seats correctly without over-tightening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flareless Bite-Type Male Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45-Degree Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlared Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube OD\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5,000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27121700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-4 VBU-S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542336602418,"sku":"4-4 VBU-S","price":55.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d5579a8c83f899040f9375870b4b29bb_6ea04e9a-ff4a-498f-9c28-45c0ffd776c3.jpg?v=1785898533","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-4-4-vbu-s-flareless-bite-type-male-elbow-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
