It uses a 45-degree flare seating angle with a flare-by-FNPT end configuration, making it a standard fitting for gas, refrigeration, and fluid-handling lines where a reliable metal-to-metal seal is required. Rated to 1000 psi working pressure in both static and dynamic service, this connector is suited for demanding plumbing and HVAC applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters install this type of fitting as part of tubing runs that terminate at threaded valve bodies, manifolds, or equipment service ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is appropriate for residential and light commercial installations where copper or other compatible tubing is flared to a 45-degree angle and connected to a female NPT threaded component. Typical applications include refrigerant line sets, natural gas and propane service connections, air conditioning equipment, and water supply tubing systems. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water contact where applicable, and the NPT thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard fittings and equipment in North American trade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction meets lead-free installation requirements for potable water and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree flare seating angle provides a reliable metal-to-metal seal without additional sealant on the flare joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1000 psi maximum working pressure rated for both static and dynamic service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlare x FNPT end configuration allows direct connection between flared tubing and a female NPT threaded port\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch tube OD flare end with 1\/2-inch NPT female thread for common trade tubing and fitting sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 3\/8-inch OD tubing with a 45-degree flare and 1\/2-inch female NPT connections, consistent with standard North American HVAC, plumbing, and gas piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code as relevant. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any flare fitting. Use a calibrated flaring tool to produce a clean, uniform 45-degree flare on the tubing before assembly; a damaged or uneven flare face will not seal correctly. Tighten the flare nut to the fitting using two wrenches to prevent body rotation and avoid over-torquing the brass threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead-Free Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flare x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlare Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Working Pressure (Static)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Working Pressure (Dynamic)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.13 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANDERSON METALS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 754046-0608\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANDERSON METALS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698995888434,"sku":"754046-0608","price":15.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2120c10ecce2afe1264a31ab7fafece7_31698b36-ccd0-4714-9d8b-0702bcbd83e9.jpg?v=1788370898","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anderson-metals-754046-0608-brass-flare-connector-3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
