Parker VS269AB-12-8 Compression Male Elbow 1/2-14 Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER VS269AB-12-8 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line installations requiring a 90-degree directional change. It connects a compression tube end to a male NPTF threaded port, providing a reliable mechanical seal without the need for thread sealant tape on the NPTF side. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 400 psi and a temperature range from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting suits demanding service environments. The brass body resists corrosion and is well-suited for air, water, oil, and many hydraulic fluid applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters are the typical installers.

This elbow fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant-adjacent tubing runs, pneumatic control systems, and hydraulic line assemblies where a tube-to-pipe-thread connection must change direction. The 1/2-14 NPTF thread size and 0.533 inch inside diameter make it compatible with standard half-inch tubing lines routed to NPT-ported equipment, manifolds, valves, or instrumentation panels. It is sold and packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• Compression x Male NPTF end connections for a leak-resistant tube-to-pipe-thread transition
• 400 psi maximum working pressure for use in demanding fluid and pneumatic systems
• Wide service temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• 0.533 inch inside diameter suits standard half-inch tubing runs
• 90-degree elbow geometry for tight-space routing and directional changes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow fitting for use in plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic systems 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 HVAC technician. Shut off system pressure and depressurize all lines completely before disassembly or installation. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form itself; inspect threads carefully and ensure proper engagement to avoid leaks. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as excess force can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
