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

Product Description

The PARKER VS269AB-8-8 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed for use in pneumatic and hydraulic tube assemblies where a 90-degree directional change is required. It connects a compression tube end to a male NPTF threaded port at a 1/2-14 thread size. Constructed from brass, this fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 400 psi and handles temperatures ranging from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards, making it suitable for brake and fluid system tubing applications. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mobile equipment technicians install this type of fitting in regulated fluid and air circuit work.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial applications where rigid or semi-rigid tubing must transition to a threaded male port at a right angle. Typical install scenarios include automotive brake lines, air brake systems, compressed air distribution lines, and fluid transfer circuits where DOT-compliant fittings are required. The compression end accepts tubing with a 0.408 inch inside diameter. Its brass construction resists corrosion in wet and fuel-contact environments, making it appropriate for both stationary equipment and mobile vehicle applications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for fluid and air circuit assemblies requiring a 1/2-14 NPTF male threaded port connection with a DOT-compliant compression tube end.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with compressed air or hydraulic fluid system requirements. De-pressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and that the compression sleeve is seated properly before tightening the compression nut. Follow applicable SAE and DOT guidelines for torque and tube insertion depth as specified in system service documentation.
