Forged from brass, this fitting delivers mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in demanding plumbing and mechanical environments. Flare connections are machined to ANSI B16.26 dimensions, producing a metal-to-metal seal that requires no pipe dope, sealant tape, or additional sealing compounds. The 3\/8-inch OD flare inlet connects to a 1\/2-inch male end, making it suited for copper tube gas and fluid systems where a direction change and size transition must occur in a single fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing elbow is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping applications where copper tubing is joined using flare-type connections. Typical installations include gas supply lines, refrigerant piping, and water supply runs that require a 90-degree turn while stepping between tube sizes. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForged brass construction for high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e90-degree elbow body allows direction change and size transition in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMachined flare seats conform to ANSI B16.26 for reliable metal-to-metal sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo sealant compounds required at flare connection faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch OD flare inlet by 1\/2-inch male connection\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 copper tube systems using standard flare-type connections in plumbing and HVAC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembling existing fittings. Use a calibrated flaring tool to prepare tube ends to ANSI B16.26 specifications before assembly. Do not overtighten flare nuts, as distortion of the flare seat will compromise the metal-to-metal seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forged Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: OD Flare x Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches OD Flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 Degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlare Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B16.26\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: BRASSCRAFT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 49-6-8wn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BRASSCRAFT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51621020991794,"sku":"49-6-8WN","price":17.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/480bb8c69196d910770c8823a7336773_bad1db6a-e461-4ac3-b871-2ee450221709.jpg?v=1787348609","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/brasscraft-49-6-8wn-brass-reducing-flare-elbow-3-8-x-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
