Parker VS279NTA-10-6 Brass 45 Elbow 3/8 Inch Mnpt

Product Description

The PARKER VS279NTA-10-6 is a brass compression-to-male NPT 45-degree elbow fitting designed for use in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer lines where a directional change is required at the connection point. The fitting accepts a 3/8-inch compression tube on one end and threads into a female NPT port on the other, providing a secure, leak-resistant joint. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting suits demanding service environments. It weighs 0.23 pounds and carries certifications to D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246.

This fitting is used in vehicle brake and fluid systems, refrigeration and HVAC tubing runs, and general industrial plumbing applications where an angled compression connection to a threaded port is needed. The 45-degree elbow geometry allows routing of tubing in tight spaces without sharp bends that could weaken the line. It is appropriate for residential and commercial installations handled by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fleet maintenance mechanics working on DOT-regulated fluid systems.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and reliable sealing in fluid and air lines
• 45-degree elbow shape enables angled tube routing in space-restricted installations
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-free tube attachment on one end and threaded port engagement on the other
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards for regulated applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for fluid and air lines requiring a 3/8-inch NPTF male thread connection with a compression tube inlet at a 45-degree angle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified mechanic familiar with compression fittings and NPT threaded connections. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant on the MNPT threads per the system fluid compatibility requirements; do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque. Follow applicable codes including IFGC, IPC, or DOT regulations as required by the system type and jurisdiction.
