Parker VS269AB-10-8 Compression Male Elbow 1/2-14

Product Description

The PARKER VS269AB-10-8 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect tubing to a male NPTF threaded port at a 90-degree angle. It features a compression-style tube end on one side and a 1/2-14 male NPTF thread on the other, creating a reliable, leak-resistant joint in fluid and pneumatic systems. The fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 400 psi and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Machined from brass, it resists corrosion and is suited for use in hydraulic, pneumatic, and instrumentation line work. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting in both new construction and service applications.

This compression male elbow is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant and sensing lines, pneumatic control systems, and instrumentation tubing runs where a direction change from tubing to a threaded port is required. The NPTF thread form provides a dry-seal connection that does not rely solely on tape or compound to prevent leakage, making it appropriate for pressure-holding systems. It is sold and packaged individually.

Key Features

• Compression x Male NPTF end connections allow tubing to transition to a threaded port without flaring
• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in fluid and pneumatic service
• NPTF dry-seal thread standard reduces reliance on thread sealant for pressure-tight joints
• Inside diameter of 0.533 inches for precise tube fit and flow consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic instrumentation applications requiring a 1/2-14 NPTF male thread connection with a compression tube inlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing any existing fittings or connecting new ones. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the compression sleeve is properly seated before tightening the compression nut. NPTF threads are designed for dry-seal assembly, but consult applicable IPC or system manufacturer guidelines regarding the use of thread sealant in the specific service environment.
