Parker VS279NTA-8-4 Brass Compression Male 45 Elbow

Product Description

The PARKER VS279NTA-8-4 is a brass compression-to-male NPT 45-degree elbow fitting designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line routing applications. It accepts a compression tube connection on one end and a 1/4-inch male NPTF threaded connection on the other, allowing a 45-degree change in direction while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant seal. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding service environments. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards. Installation is handled by licensed plumbers, refrigeration technicians, and qualified mechanical contractors.

This fitting is commonly used in hydraulic brake lines, pneumatic systems, fuel lines, and general fluid transfer applications where a 45-degree directional change is required. The compression-by-MNPT configuration makes it well suited for connecting tubing runs to threaded ports on valves, manifolds, pumps, or equipment fittings in both mobile and stationary installations. Its brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable performance across a wide service temperature range.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow angle for directional tubing routing without bending tube
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-assisted, leak-resistant assembly
• 1/4-inch NPTF thread standard for secure pressure-rated threaded engagement
• 150 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Rated for service from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style compression-to-male NPT brass fitting for use in fluid and pneumatic systems requiring a 1/4-inch NPTF threaded male connection with a compression tube inlet.

Installation Notes

This fitting should be installed by a licensed plumber, refrigeration technician, or qualified mechanical contractor familiar with compression fitting assembly procedures. Always depressurize and drain the line before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then advance with a wrench per standard compression fitting practice — do not overtighten, as brass threads and ferrules can deform. Verify all connections for leaks after restoring system pressure.
