Parker VS269AB-12-12 Compression Male Elbow 3/4-14 Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER VS269AB-12-12 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed for connecting tubing to a male NPTF threaded port. The elbow configuration allows a 90-degree directional change in a tubing run, making it useful in tight or congested installations where a straight fitting will not route cleanly. It features a 3/4-14 NPTF thread on the male end and accepts tubing on the compression end with a 0.533 inch inside diameter. Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for temperatures ranging from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting handles demanding fluid and pneumatic service conditions. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant piping, pneumatic control lines, and hydraulic fluid systems where a compression-to-male NPTF elbow connection is required. The NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on thread sealant, which suits installations where leak-free joints are critical. Applications include control tubing runs, instrument lines, and service connections in equipment panels or utility spaces.

Key Features

• 90-degree male elbow routes tubing around obstructions without field bending
• Brass construction resists corrosion in water, air, and many fluid service environments
• 3/4-14 NPTF male thread provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal
• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Compression end accepts 0.533 inch inside diameter tubing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression-to-male NPTF elbow fitting for plumbing, HVAC, pneumatic, and hydraulic tubing systems requiring a 3/4-14 NPTF threaded male connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as excess torque can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal. Verify thread compatibility before assembly, and apply thread sealant per the system requirements and applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC where relevant.
