Parker VS279NTA-12-8 Brass 45 Deg Elbow 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER VS279NTA-12-8 is a brass male 45-degree elbow fitting designed to connect compression tubing to a male NPTF threaded port. It transitions a compression-style tube end to a 1/2-inch male NPT connection at a 45-degree angle, reducing stress on tubing runs in tight or angled installations. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting is built for durability in demanding fluid and pneumatic line applications. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fleet maintenance professionals install this type of fitting in refrigerant, hydraulic, and pneumatic tubing systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial applications where a compression tube line must terminate at a male NPT port at a 45-degree offset. Typical scenarios include brake line assemblies, pneumatic control circuits, and fluid transfer systems where straight fittings would introduce excessive tubing strain or routing conflict. The brass construction resists corrosion in both wet and dry service environments. Compliance with D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 makes it appropriate for automotive and mobile equipment brake and fuel line use as well as stationary plumbing systems.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life in fluid and pneumatic systems
• 45-degree elbow geometry reduces tubing bend stress and simplifies routing in confined spaces
• 150 psi maximum working pressure suits a wide range of low-to-medium-pressure applications
• Wide service temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Compliant with D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tool-free tube insertion with a secure threaded port attachment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression-to-MNPT fitting for 1/2-inch compression tube lines terminating at a male NPT threaded port in fluid, pneumatic, or brake line assemblies meeting D.O.T. and SAE specification requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with compression fitting assembly and NPT thread sealing practices. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembly or installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads per system requirements, and do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque. Verify tube end is cut square and deburred before seating in the compression ferrule to ensure a leak-free connection.
