Parker VS279NTA-8-8 Brass Compression 45 Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER VS279NTA-8-8 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. The fitting connects a compression tube end to a 1/2-inch male NPTF threaded port, providing a secure, leak-resistant joint without flaring. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and rated for service from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting is built to perform across a broad range of operating conditions. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards, making it suitable for regulated system applications.

This fitting is used in hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, and brake line systems where a 45-degree offset connection between a compression tube and a male NPT port is needed. It is commonly installed in commercial vehicle systems, mobile equipment, and industrial fluid transfer assemblies. The 1/2-inch thread size and NPTF thread standard make it compatible with standard NPT-ported components found across a wide variety of system configurations. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, fleet mechanics, or industrial technicians working on tube and pipe assemblies.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry allows angular tube routing at compression-to-NPT connections
• Brass construction resists corrosion and provides reliable performance in fluid service
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards
• NPTF thread standard for pressure-tight thread engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression-to-male NPT fitting for fluid and pneumatic line systems requiring a 45-degree elbow at a 1/2-inch NPT port.

Installation Notes

Shut down system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure the compression tube end is cut cleanly and squarely and that the ferrule seats properly before tightening. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal. Follow applicable SAE and D.O.T. guidelines for tube fitting assembly in regulated vehicle or fluid system applications.
