Parker VS269NTA-6-2 Compression Male Elbow Brass 3/8 Od

Product Description

The PARKER VS269NTA-6-2 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect a 3/8-inch outside diameter tube to a 1/8-inch male NPTF threaded port. The elbow configuration redirects flow at a 90-degree angle, making it well suited for tight routing in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer lines. Built to brass construction for corrosion resistance and reliable sealing performance, this fitting carries D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 certifications. It handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fleet maintenance professionals install this fitting in brake, fuel, and instrumentation line applications.

This fitting is used in residential, commercial, and mobile equipment applications where a compression-style tube connection must transition to a male pipe thread port. The NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight mechanical seal without the need for sealant tape in many installations. Typical scenarios include instrument tubing runs, pneumatic control lines, and DOT-regulated brake system plumbing where certified fittings are required by code.

Key Features

• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tool-free tube insertion with a threaded port outlet
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of fluid media
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure for dependable service in pressurized systems
• Operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F suits both cold-climate and under-hood environments
• Certified to D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 for use in regulated mobile and fluid-power applications
• NPTF thread standard promotes leak-free connections at the male pipe thread end

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style compression tube male elbow for use with 3/8-inch outside diameter tubing and 1/8-inch NPTF male pipe thread ports in DOT-compliant and general fluid-transfer plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with compression fittings and pipe thread connections. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing any existing fittings or installing this elbow. Ensure the tube end is cut square and deburred before seating it into the compression body, and tighten the compression nut to snug plus the manufacturer-recommended turns for the tube material. Follow all applicable DOT, SAE, and local plumbing codes when installing in regulated brake or fuel system lines.
