Braxton Harris Company F49-66 Brass Flare Elbow 3/8 Flare X 3/8 Mpt

Product Description

The BRAXTON HARRIS COMPANY F49-66 is a brass flare elbow fitting designed for use in refrigeration, HVAC, plumbing, and fuel-handling systems. It transitions from a 3/8-inch flare thread connection to a 3/8-inch male pipe thread (MPT), allowing directional changes in tubing runs where a straight connection is not practical. The all-brass construction resists corrosion and holds up to the mechanical stress of pressurized lines. Rated for temperatures ranging from 65 to 250 degrees F, this fitting is suited for both low-temperature refrigeration circuits and higher-temperature fuel or air applications. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics are the primary installers.

The F49-66 is intended for use with copper, brass, aluminum, and welded steel tubing. It is appropriate for lines handling hard-to-hold media, including gasoline, grease, oil, water, vacuum lines, compressed air lines, LP gas, natural gas, and refrigerants. This makes it a versatile elbow fitting across residential and light commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and fuel-system service work. The Style 49 designation identifies the flare-fitting series this part belongs to within the BRAXTON HARRIS COMPANY product line.

Designed for use with copper, brass, aluminum, and welded steel tubing in systems handling refrigerants, LP gas, natural gas, gasoline, grease, oil, water, air, and vacuum lines. Suitable as a standard flare-to-male-pipe-thread elbow fitting in residential and commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and fuel-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician, refrigeration mechanic, or plumber depending on the application. Always depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing fittings, and verify that the mating flare is properly formed and free of nicks or distortion before tightening. Use a backup wrench on the MPT side to avoid stressing downstream components. Refrigerant system work must comply with applicable EPA Section 608 regulations and local mechanical codes.
