Parker VS279AB-10-8 Brass Compression 45 Elbow 1/2-14

Product Description

The PARKER VS279AB-10-8 is a brass compression-to-male NPTF 45-degree elbow fitting designed to connect tubing to threaded pipe or equipment ports at a 45-degree angle. Constructed from brass, it handles working pressures up to 400 psi and operates across a wide temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. The compression end accepts tubing with a 0.533-inch inside diameter, while the male threaded end conforms to 1/2-14 NPTF thread standards. This fitting is suited for use in fluid and pneumatic systems where a directional change is needed between a compression tube line and a fixed threaded port. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters are the typical installers.

This elbow fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications involving compressed air, hydraulic lines, fuel systems, or refrigeration-adjacent tubing runs where a 45-degree directional change is required. The NPTF thread form creates a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on thread sealant. It is packaged individually and is suitable for low-to-moderate pressure systems where brass construction is compatible with the media being conveyed.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for directional routing between compression tubing and a threaded port
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and machinability
• NPTF male thread delivers a dry-seal pressure-tight connection
• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide service temperature range from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Compression end sized for 0.533-inch inside diameter tubing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for compression tube systems requiring a 1/2-14 NPTF male threaded port connection in brass compression fitting configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or pipefitter familiar with compression fittings and NPTF thread connections. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form itself, but applying a compatible thread sealant per manufacturer and local code requirements is common practice. Ensure tubing is cut squarely and deburred before inserting into the compression end to achieve a leak-free seal.
