Parker 8FEL8N-B Compression Female Elbow 1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 8FEL8N-B is a brass compression tube female elbow fitting designed to create a 90-degree directional change in tubing runs while transitioning from a compression tube connection to a female NPT threaded port. Rated to 2200 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is built for demanding fluid and gas handling applications in HVAC, refrigeration, pneumatic, and instrumentation systems. The brass construction provides reliable corrosion resistance in a wide range of media. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation mechanics install this type of fitting where rigid or semi-rigid tubing must connect at an angle to a female-threaded component such as a valve, manifold, or instrument port.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant piping, compressed air lines, and instrumentation tubing applications. The compression end accepts tubing without soldering or flaring, making it well suited for field installations where open-flame work is restricted or impractical. The 1/2 inch thread size on the FNPT end accommodates standard pipe thread ports. It is commonly installed in tight-space routing situations where a straight fitting would not allow adequate bend radius for the connected tubing.

Key Features

• 90-degree female elbow configuration transitions compression tube to FNPT threaded port in a single fitting
• 2200 psi maximum working pressure rating supports high-pressure fluid and gas service
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance across a broad range of compatible media
• Compression x FNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering or flaring at the tube end
• 1/2 inch thread size on both ends suits standard tubing and pipe thread sizes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for use in systems requiring a 1/2 inch compression to 1/2 inch FNPT transition at a 90-degree angle. Cross-references to Swagelok part number B-810-8-8.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified instrumentation mechanic. Isolate and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tubing, then advance with a wrench per standard compression fitting practice — do not overtighten, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque. Verify system pressure rating does not exceed the fitting maximum working pressure of 2200 psi before returning the system to service.
