Parker VS269NTA-6-8 Compression Male Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER VS269NTA-6-8 is a brass compression tube male elbow fitting designed to create a leak-resistant 90-degree connection between a compression tube line and a male NPT threaded port. The fitting uses a compression-style end connection on one side and a 1/2 inch MNPT thread on the other, making it a standard choice for hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid transfer lines in mobile and stationary equipment. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, it meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid system mechanics install this fitting in brake, fuel, and hydraulic line applications.

This fitting is suited for mobile equipment, commercial vehicles, and industrial fluid systems where a direction change is needed in a compression tube run terminating at a male NPT port. The 1/2 inch NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight seal at the threaded connection. Applications include brake line systems, fuel delivery lines, and air supply circuits that require DOT-compliant components. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance in environments exposed to moisture, fuel, and common hydraulic fluids.

Key Features

• Compression x MNPT end connections for secure, tool-assisted tube termination at a threaded port
• 1/2 inch NPTF thread standard for pressure-tight sealing without additional sealant in many applications
• 150 psi maximum working pressure for compatibility with low-to-medium pressure fluid systems
• Operational temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F for wide service environments
• Brass construction resists corrosion in fuel, brake fluid, and moisture-rich environments
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards for mobile and vehicular applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube male elbow for fluid transfer systems requiring DOT-compliant fittings with 1/2 inch MNPT connections and compression tube inlets.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with compression fitting assembly and NPT thread sealing practices. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then advance with a wrench per standard compression fitting procedure — avoid overtightening, which can crack the ferrule or distort the tube end. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves, but consult system requirements for appropriate thread sealant use.
