Parker VS269NTA-3-4 Compression Male Elbow 1/4 in Mnpt

Product Description

The PARKER VS269NTA-3-4 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect tubing to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. It uses a compression-style end connection on one side and a 1/4-inch MNPT threaded end on the other, allowing a secure, leak-resistant joint without soldering or brazing. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and capable of handling temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting suits demanding service environments in HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, and pneumatic tubing systems. Installation requires standard hand tools and a tubing cutter for clean square cuts.

This fitting is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications where a compression tube line must transition to a male pipe thread port. Typical scenarios include connecting small-diameter copper or nylon tubing to valves, manifolds, or equipment ports. The NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal. Technicians across HVAC, plumbing, and pneumatic trades will encounter this fitting wherever flexible or rigid small-bore tubing meets a threaded component.

Key Features

• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-free tube attachment and threaded port tie-in
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and compatibility with copper, nylon, and polyethylene tubing
• 150 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• NPTF thread standard for pressure-tight sealing on the male pipe thread end
• Compact elbow geometry routes tubing at 90 degrees to minimize bending stress on the line

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a compression-to-MNPT transition in small-bore tubing circuits rated to 150 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system and purge any residual fluid before disassembling existing fittings. Ensure tubing is cut square and deburred before seating into the compression end to achieve a leak-free joint. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads per the job specification; do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
