Default Brake line compression fittings question

I'm using the plastic brake lines that Van's provided for a different purpose (vent line for smoke system, actually) and have a question...

The parts that came with the kit included a bunch of 90 degree fittings that have the compression fittings on one side and NPT on the other...does anyone know *what* these fittings are properly called, and if there's a fitting that is this somewhat unique compression fitting on one end with a flared fitting on the other, or at the very least, compression on one end with an NPT on the other, but *straight*, not 90 degrees?

If I even had the name of the type of fitting these are, I could probably search for what I need, but I don't know what to call them...they seem pretty unique, but maybe it's just me because I'm not using them for anything on the plane...

TIA, as always...

Steve

Steve--We typically use them in air brake applications on heavy trucks. Brass fittings only, not the plastic ones. DOT specs.
