Parker L249F-6-6 Brass 45 Deg Male Flare Elbow 3/8 Od

Product Description

The PARKER L249F-6-6 is a lead-free brass 45-degree male flare elbow fitting designed for use in potable water, refrigeration, and fluid system plumbing lines. It connects a 3/8-inch OD flared tube to a 3/8-inch male NPTF threaded port, conforming to SAE J512 and SAE J513 flare standards. The fitting is rated for pressures up to 1000 psi and temperatures up to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting when routing copper or compatible tubing into threaded manifolds, valves, or equipment ports that require a 45-degree directional change.

This elbow is well suited for potable water supply lines, hydronic systems, and refrigerant-adjacent fluid circuits where a directional transition from a flared tube to a male pipe thread is required. The 45-degree angle helps route tubing in tight spaces without bending the line itself. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for drinking water contact applications under applicable plumbing codes. It is packaged individually and is appropriate for both new installation and repair work in residential and commercial settings.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water application requirements
• 45-degree flare angle per SAE J512 and SAE J513 standards
• Flare x MNPTF end connections for tube-to-pipe-thread transitions
• Rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure
• Maximum working temperature of 250 degrees F (121 degrees C)
• UL Listed fitting for added assurance in code-required installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install flare fitting for systems using 3/8-inch OD flared tubing with 3/8-inch NPTF male pipe thread connections, including potable water plumbing and fluid handling lines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply or system pressure and depressurize the line fully before making or breaking any connections. Use an appropriately sized flare tool to ensure the tube end meets SAE J512 and SAE J513 flare geometry requirements before seating the fitting. Apply thread sealant compatible with the service fluid to the NPTF threads per the applicable plumbing code, such as IPC or local jurisdiction requirements.
