Parker VS279NTA-10-8 Brass Male 45 Elbow Compression Mnpt

Product Description

The PARKER VS279NTA-10-8 is a brass male 45-degree elbow fitting designed for compression-to-MNPT connections in fluid and pneumatic tubing systems. It features a 1/2-inch NPTF thread on the male end and accepts compression-style tube connections on the opposing end. The fitting is rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Built from brass, it delivers corrosion resistance suited to hydraulic brake, fuel, and air line applications. This fitting meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards, making it appropriate for regulated installations in mobile and stationary systems.

This fitting is commonly used in commercial vehicle brake lines, hydraulic tubing assemblies, refrigeration line sets, and industrial fluid transfer systems where a 45-degree directional change is required between a compression tube and a male pipe thread port. The 45-degree angle reduces stress on tubing runs compared to a 90-degree fitting and is often selected when routing space is limited or when tube strain relief is a priority. Plumbers, fleet maintenance technicians, and industrial piping professionals install this type of fitting.

Key Features

• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-accessible, leak-resistant assembly
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression-to-MNPT fitting for fluid and pneumatic tubing systems requiring a 1/2-inch NPTF male pipe thread connection and a compression tube inlet.

Installation Notes

This fitting should be installed by a qualified technician familiar with compression fitting assembly and pipe thread sealing practices. Shut down system pressure completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape to the NPTF male threads per the system manufacturer and applicable code requirements. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as brass fittings can deform if excess torque is applied; follow the fitting manufacturer's standard hand-tight-plus-turns procedure for compression connections.
