Parker VS379PTCR-8-4 45 Deg Elbow Push-to-connect Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER VS379PTCR-8-4 is a push-to-connect tube-to-male-pipe fitting configured as a 45-degree elbow. It accepts 1/2-inch OD tubing on the push-to-connect end and connects to a 1/4-inch NPTF male threaded port on the pipe side. The body is brass construction with Buna-N (nitrile) O-ring sealing and nylon internal components, rated to 250 psi. This fitting is designed for use by plumbing, HVAC, and pneumatic system technicians who need a reliable angled tube-to-pipe transition without the need for ferrule or compression tooling.

This fitting suits residential and light commercial fluid and pneumatic system plumbing where a 45-degree directional change is needed between a 1/2-inch OD tube run and a 1/4-inch NPTF threaded port. Common install scenarios include control line routing, instrument tubing, and HVAC refrigerant or pneumatic control circuits where space constraints require an angled connection. The push-to-connect mechanism allows fast, tool-free tube insertion.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design accepts 1/2-inch OD tubing without ferrules or compression sleeves
• 45-degree elbow configuration for angled tube-to-pipe transitions
• 1/4-inch NPTF male threaded pipe end for leak-resistant tapered thread connection
• Brass body with nitrile O-ring seal rated to 250 psi working pressure
• Black color finish for visual identification in multi-line systems
• Single-piece unit, sold individually with no minimum order requirement beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect elbow fitting for systems using 1/2-inch OD tubing and 1/4-inch NPTF male threaded ports in pneumatic, hydraulic, or fluid control plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by plumbing and HVAC technicians. Shut down system pressure and depressurize all lines completely before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure tubing is cut square and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper seal. Verify thread compatibility with the receiving port before installation, as NPTF threads require a tapered-thread mating port and should not be forced into straight-thread (NPT or NPS) fittings without verification.
