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

Product Description

The PARKER VS279AB-8-8 is a brass compression tube male 45 degree elbow fitting designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies requiring a directional change at a 45 degree angle. It connects a compression tube end to a male NPTF threaded port, providing a secure, leak-resistant joint in high-demand applications. The fitting carries a maximum working pressure of 400 psi and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a broad range of service conditions. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fleet mechanics are the typical installers. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards.

This fitting is commonly used in hydraulic lines, pneumatic systems, fuel and brake line assemblies, and refrigeration or HVAC copper tubing runs where a 45 degree directional change is needed at a threaded port connection. Its brass construction makes it a practical choice for residential and light commercial mechanical systems as well as mobile and fleet applications governed by D.O.T. requirements. The 1/2-14 NPTF thread size and compression end connection suit standard tubing configurations found across these trades.

Key Features

• 45 degree elbow configuration routes tubing at a shallow angle, reducing stress on connected lines
• Compression x Male NPTF end connections for a reliable mechanical seal without solder or flare tools
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in fluid and pneumatic service
• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards for regulated applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/2-14 NPTF threaded ports with compression tube connections, including hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, brake, and HVAC refrigerant line assemblies where D.O.T. and SAE J246 compliance is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified fleet mechanics. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the fitting body, then snug with a wrench per standard compression fitting practice — do not overtighten, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal. Verify thread engagement and system pressure rating before returning the line to service.
