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

Product Description

The PARKER VS279NTA-6-6 is a 45-degree male elbow fitting designed for compression-to-MNPT connections in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies. Constructed from brass, this fitting accepts 3/8-inch outside diameter tubing on the compression end and connects to a male NPTF thread on the opposite end. It carries a 150 psi maximum working pressure rating and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F up to 200 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-system specialists use this type of fitting when routing tubing requires a directional change at a threaded port. The D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 certifications confirm it meets established performance and dimensional standards for transportation and industrial fluid line use.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where compression tube lines must connect to a male NPT-threaded port at a 45-degree angle. Typical install scenarios include refrigerant-adjacent fluid lines, pneumatic control tubing runs, and DOT-compliant brake or fuel line assemblies where a straight fitting would create interference or routing difficulty. It is sold individually and is appropriate anywhere a compact, low-profile directional change is needed at a threaded component interface.

Key Features

• 45-degree male elbow geometry reduces routing interference compared to a straight compression fitting
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in fluid and pneumatic service
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow direct attachment to NPT-threaded ports without additional adapters
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Certified to D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch outside diameter compression tubing and NPTF-threaded male ports in fluid and pneumatic line systems meeting D.O.T., SAE J1131, and SAE J246 requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified fluid-systems mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembling any fitting. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as brass compression fittings can be damaged by excessive torque. Verify that the mating NPTF thread is clean and free of damage before assembly, and apply appropriate thread sealant per the applicable code or system specification.
