Parker VS269NTA-6-6 Compression Male Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER VS269NTA-6-6 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect 3/8-inch outside diameter tubing to a male NPT threaded port at a 90-degree angle. It uses a compression end on one side and a male NPTF thread on the other, making it a standard choice for fluid and air line connections in mobile equipment, brake systems, and pneumatic plumbing. The fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mobile equipment mechanics regularly specify this type of fitting where a reliable, leak-resistant tube-to-pipe transition is required.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant and air lines, automotive brake and fuel systems, and light industrial pneumatic circuits. It complies with D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246, making it acceptable for use in DOT-regulated mobile hydraulic and brake tubing assemblies. The compression end accepts 3/8-inch OD tubing, and the male NPTF thread seals reliably in standard NPT female ports without the need for additional sealant when assembled correctly.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in fluid system applications
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tubing-to-pipe transitions without soldering or flaring
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F suits a wide range of service environments
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards for DOT-regulated and mobile equipment applications
• NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight mechanical seal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression elbow fitting for 3/8-inch OD tubing systems terminating at a male NPT threaded port in plumbing, HVAC, and mobile equipment applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified mobile equipment mechanic. Always depressurize and isolate the system before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the fitting body, then tighten with a wrench according to standard compression fitting practice — do not overtighten, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal. Verify compliance with applicable local plumbing codes and DOT regulations before installing in regulated systems.
