Parker VS279AB-6-8 Male 45 Elbow Fitting 1/2-14 Nptf Brass

Product Description

The PARKER VS279AB-6-8 is a brass compression tube male 45 degree elbow fitting designed for use in pneumatic and hydraulic tubing systems. It provides a 45-degree directional change between a compression tube connection and a male NPTF threaded port. The fitting is rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. With a 1/2-14 NPTF thread and a 0.314 inch inside diameter, this fitting is suited for installations requiring a leak-resistant threaded and compression seal. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards, making it appropriate for regulated fluid and air line applications.

This fitting is used in mobile equipment, commercial vehicle brake and air systems, fluid transfer lines, and industrial plumbing assemblies where a 45-degree offset is needed between a tubing run and a threaded port. Licensed plumbers, fleet mechanics, and industrial technicians typically install this type of fitting in both OEM and service replacement scenarios. The NPTF thread standard provides a dry-seal connection that does not rely solely on thread sealant for leak prevention, which is a key consideration in pressurized systems.

Key Features

• Compression x Male NPTF end connections for a dry-seal threaded joint
• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube elbow fitting for pneumatic, hydraulic, and fluid transfer systems using 1/2-14 NPTF threaded ports and compatible compression tube connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, mechanic, or fluid systems technician. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. NPTF dry-seal threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves; inspect threads for damage before assembly and follow standard torque practices for brass fittings. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack or distort under excessive force.
