Parker VS279NTA-8-6 Brass 45 Elbow Compression X Mnpt 3/8

Product Description

The PARKER VS279NTA-8-6 is a brass male 45-degree elbow fitting that connects a compression tube to a male NPT threaded port. It is designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies where a 45-degree directional change is required. The fitting accepts a 3/8-inch compression connection on one end and a 3/8-inch MNPT connection on the other, with an inside diameter of 0.338 inches. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a temperature range of -40 to 200 degrees F, it meets DOT FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid systems installers typically work with this type of fitting.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where tubing lines must transition to threaded pipe connections at a 45-degree angle. Common install scenarios include hydraulic brake lines, air brake systems, fuel lines, and fluid transfer plumbing where DOT and SAE compliance is required. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance in a range of media and environments encountered in trade service work.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for angled tube-to-pipe routing
• Compression x MNPT end connections for tool-free tube attachment on the compression side
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide service temperature range: -40 to 200 degrees F
• Meets DOT FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 compliance standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard compression-to-MNPT brass elbow fitting suitable for fluid, air, and brake line systems requiring DOT and SAE-compliant fittings with 3/8-inch NPTF threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, HVAC technician, or fluid systems mechanic. Depressurize the line and isolate the fluid supply before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten, as brass threads and ferrules can deform. Verify system pressure does not exceed the 150 psi rating before returning the line to service.
