Parker VS269AB-6-4 Compression Male Elbow 1/4-18 Brass

Product Description

The PARKER VS269AB-6-4 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line connections requiring a reliable, leak-resistant 90-degree directional change. It connects a compression tube end to a male NPTF threaded port with a 1/4-18 thread size. Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure and tested across a wide temperature range, this fitting meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for hydraulic, pneumatic, and fuel line applications. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or automotive fluid system technicians.

This elbow fitting is suited for residential and commercial applications where a tube-to-pipe directional transition is required. Typical install scenarios include brake line systems, compressed air distribution, hydraulic control circuits, and fuel delivery lines. The NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on thread sealant. The 90-degree male elbow configuration is commonly used where space constraints prevent straight-line routing of tubing.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for fluid and pneumatic systems requiring a 1/4-18 NPTF male port connection with compression tube inlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, HVAC technician, or automotive fluid systems technician. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut before applying final torque with a wrench, and avoid over-tightening, which can deform the compression sleeve. Verify compatibility with the tubing outside diameter before assembly to ensure a proper compression seal.
