Parker VS269NTA-12-8 Compression Male Elbow 1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER VS269NTA-12-8 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed for use in pneumatic and fluid transfer lines where a 90-degree directional change is required. It connects a compression tube end to a 1/2-inch male NPTF thread, providing a secure, leak-resistant joint. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding service conditions. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fleet maintenance professionals commonly install this type of fitting in hydraulic brake lines, air systems, and fluid distribution assemblies.

This fitting is suited for residential, commercial, and mobile equipment applications where a compression-to-male pipe thread transition is needed. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards, making it appropriate for automotive brake and fuel line assemblies as well as general-purpose fluid systems. The NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight connection without the need for additional sealant in most applications.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in fluid service
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow direct transition from tube to pipe thread
• 1/2-inch NPTF thread provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for fluid and pneumatic systems requiring a 1/2-inch NPTF male pipe thread connection with a compression tube inlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified fleet maintenance technician. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Hand-tighten the NPTF thread first, then use an appropriately sized wrench to achieve a snug, leak-free connection; do not overtighten brass fittings. Verify the compression sleeve and nut are properly seated on the tube before applying final torque to the compression end.
