Brass Craft Service Parts 462-6-4X P Compression Adapter

Product Description

The BRASS CRAFT SERVICE PARTS 462-6-4X P is a compression-to-female-flare adapter designed for connecting tubing with a 1/4 inch OD compression fitting to a 3/8 inch female flare connection. This brass fitting is lead free and meets low lead restrictions as required by current plumbing codes. It is used in refrigeration, HVAC, and plumbing systems where two different fitting standards must be joined at a single connection point. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of adapter when transitioning between compression and flare line sets or supply connections.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 1/4 inch OD compression line needs to terminate at a 3/8 inch female flare port. Typical scenarios include refrigerant line transitions, ice maker supply connections, and similar small-bore tubing installations. The package contains 20 units, making it a practical stocking item for service vans and shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water or refrigerant supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing any fittings. Do not overtighten compression fittings; use a backup wrench on the fitting body to avoid twisting the tubing. Inspect the flare seat and compression ferrule for damage before making the final connection.
