Parker VS279AB-6-6 Brass Compression Male 45 Elbow

Product Description

The PARKER VS279AB-6-6 is a brass compression-to-male NPTF 45-degree elbow fitting designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line routing where a directional change is required without sacrificing seal integrity. Constructed from brass, it connects a compression tube end to a male NPTF threaded port at a 45-degree angle. The fitting carries a maximum working pressure of 400 psi and is rated for temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. The 3/8-18 NPTF thread provides a dry-seal connection that resists leakage under pressure. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid systems technicians install this type of fitting in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fuel line applications.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial installations where tubing must transition to a threaded port at a 45-degree offset. Typical install scenarios include compressed air lines, hydraulic brake systems, and fuel or fluid distribution plumbing where straight fittings would create interference or routing conflicts. The compression end accommodates tubing with a 0.314-inch inside diameter. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards, making it appropriate for regulated fluid system applications in both stationary and mobile equipment.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for directional tubing routing with minimal space impact
• Compression x Male NPTF end connections for dry-seal, thread-locked assembly
• 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and air service
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression fitting for fluid, pneumatic, and fuel line systems requiring a 3/8-18 NPTF male port connection with a 45-degree tube offset.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified fluid systems mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves without tape or sealant, but verify the specific system requirement before assembly. Do not overtighten compression fittings; follow the fitting manufacturer's standard turn-past-finger-tight procedure appropriate for the tubing material.
