Parker VS279NTA-6-2 Brass Male 45 Elbow Compression Mnpt

Product Description

The PARKER VS279NTA-6-2 is a brass male 45-degree elbow fitting designed for compression-to-male NPT connections in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies. It accepts a compression tube connection on one end and a 1/8-inch NPTF male threaded connection on the other, allowing a 45-degree directional change in the line. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting suits demanding service environments. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards, making it suitable for brake and fuel system plumbing applications.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial fluid transfer, pneumatic, and automotive brake line applications where a 45-degree directional change is required at a compression-to-NPT transition point. The NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on thread sealant. Typical install scenarios include hydraulic control lines, air brake tubing, and fuel system connections where tube-to-pipe transitions are needed in tight or angled routing situations. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and automotive brake system technicians are the primary installers.

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Compliant with D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for fluid and pneumatic line systems requiring a 1/8-inch NPTF male thread connection at a 45-degree elbow transition point.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified brake system technician. Depressurize and isolate the line before disassembly or fitting installation. NPTF threads are designed to seal on thread engagement; apply thread sealant per the system manufacturer's recommendation and applicable codes. Do not overtighten compression fittings, as over-compression can damage the ferrule and compromise the seal.
