Parker VS379PTCR-12-12 Male Swivel Elbow 3/4in Od Brass

Product Description

The PARKER VS379PTCR-12-12 is a push-to-connect male swivel elbow tube fitting designed for use in pneumatic and fluid transfer systems where a 90-degree direction change is required at a threaded port. The fitting accepts 3/4 inch OD tubing on the push-to-connect end and connects to a 3/4 inch NPTF male thread on the swivel end. Constructed from brass with Buna-N and nylon sealing components, it is rated to 250 psi and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The swivel design allows rotational alignment after installation, reducing stress on the tubing. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in air brake, refrigerant line, and general-purpose fluid systems.

This fitting is suited for general-purpose applications in both mobile and stationary systems. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS 571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards, making it appropriate for air brake tubing circuits and other regulated pneumatic assemblies. The male NPTF thread provides a dry-seal connection that does not rely solely on tape or sealant to prevent leaks. The 1.6700 inch overall length and 1-3/16 inch hex size are consistent with standard tooling for 3/4 inch fittings. Installers working on compressed air distribution, fluid power manifolds, or vehicle brake systems will find this fitting a direct-fit solution.

• Operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Brass body with Buna-N o-ring and nylon components for corrosion resistance and sealing durability
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS 571.106, SAE J2494, SAE J2494-3, and SAE J844 standards
• Swivel end allows post-installation rotational adjustment to align tubing without twisting

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/4 inch OD tubing in general-purpose pneumatic and fluid systems. Suitable for air brake circuits and other assemblies governed by D.O.T. and SAE J844 standards.

Installation Notes

Shut down and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. The NPTF thread is a dry-seal design; apply thread sealant per the system manufacturer's requirements and applicable codes. Tighten the hex with a properly sized wrench to avoid distorting the fitting body. Push tubing into the collet until it seats fully, then tug back to confirm retention before returning the system to service.
