Parker VS279NTA-6-8 Brass Compression 45 Elbow 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER VS279NTA-6-8 is a brass compression-to-male NPT 45-degree elbow fitting designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies where a directional change is required at a threaded port connection. The fitting accepts a compression tube connection on one end and a 1/2-inch male NPTF threaded connection on the other, providing a leak-resistant seal without requiring solder or flare tooling. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for temperatures ranging from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting is built to meet D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and fleet service professionals regularly install this type of fitting in brake, fuel, and fluid transfer line routing applications.

This fitting is used in residential, commercial, and mobile equipment plumbing applications where a compression tube line must terminate or connect at a 45-degree angle to a male NPT port. The compression-by-MNPT configuration makes it a common choice in DOT-compliant brake and hydraulic line assemblies, as well as fuel system plumbing where tube routing requires an angled transition to a threaded fitting boss. The 1/2-inch thread size suits a wide range of standard ported components found in light and medium-duty equipment.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry allows angled tube routing at male NPT ports without field bending
• Compression x MNPT end connections provide a tool-assisted, solder-free seal on both ends
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance in fuel, air, and hydraulic fluid service
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards for DOT-regulated line applications
• Wide service temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for compression tube assemblies requiring a 1/2-inch male NPTF threaded port connection with a 45-degree elbow configuration, per D.O.T. and SAE specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified hydraulic technician familiar with DOT brake and fluid line regulations. Depressurize and isolate the fluid system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Use appropriate tube cutting and deburring tools to ensure a clean, square tube end before seating in the compression ferrule. Do not overtighten the compression nut; follow the fitting manufacturer's standard turn-past-finger-tight procedure and inspect for leaks before returning the system to service.
