Parker VS279AB-6-2 Brass Compression Male 45 Elbow

Product Description

The PARKER VS279AB-6-2 is a brass compression-to-male NPTF 45-degree elbow fitting designed for use in compressed air, pneumatic, and fluid conveying lines where a directional change is required at a threaded port connection. Constructed from brass with a compression inlet and a 1/8-27 NPTF male threaded outlet, this fitting maintains a rated working pressure of 400 psi across a wide service temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid system technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This elbow fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant line accessories, pneumatic control systems, and mobile hydraulic equipment where tubing must transition to a male NPTF threaded port at a 45-degree angle. The compression end accepts tubing with an inside diameter of 0.189 inches, providing a secure, leak-resistant seal without soldering or flaring. Its compact brass body makes it well suited for installations with limited space around threaded ports on valves, manifolds, and instrumentation panels.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry redirects tubing runs without sharp bends or kinking
• Compression x Male NPTF end connections allow tool-free tube insertion with a standard wrench for the threaded side
• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure for high-demand pneumatic and fluid lines
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F suits both cold and elevated-temperature service environments
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards for verified performance in regulated applications
• Brass construction resists corrosion in air, water, and compatible fluid systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for pneumatic, hydraulic, and fluid conveying systems requiring a 1/8-27 NPTF male thread connection with a compression tube inlet at a 45-degree angle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. The compression end requires proper tube squaring and deburring before insertion to ensure a leak-free seal. Tighten the threaded NPTF connection per standard pipe thread practice — hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns — and pressure-test the assembly before returning the system to service.
