Cerrobrass E1-6B Brass Flared Tube Male Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The CERROBRASS E1-6B is a 90-degree brass male elbow fitting designed to connect a 45-degree flared tube to a male iron pipe thread (MIP) port. It transitions from a 3/8-inch OD flare end to a 1/4-inch MIP threaded end, making a direction change in a tubing run while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant seal. The fitting is machined from brass and rated for a maximum working temperature of 250 degrees F. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics commonly install this type of fitting where a tubing line must change direction and connect to a threaded male port.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving copper or compatible soft tubing. Typical uses include fuel gas lines, refrigeration circuits, and hydraulic or pneumatic systems where a flare-to-MIP transition at a 90-degree angle is required. The 45-degree flare seat conforms to SAE, ASME, and ASA standards, making it compatible with standard flare fittings used across HVAC, plumbing, and refrigeration trades.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow body with 45-degree flare seat for direction changes in tubing runs
• 3/8-inch OD flare inlet transitions to 1/4-inch MIP threaded outlet
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in wet or refrigerant environments
• Rated to 250 degrees F maximum working temperature
• Meets ASA, ASME, and SAE standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using standard 45-degree SAE flare connections with a 3/8-inch OD tube and a 1/4-inch MIP port.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or refrigeration mechanic in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off all system pressure and purge the line before removing or installing any flare fitting. Use a properly sized flaring tool to ensure the tube end is formed to the correct 45-degree seat angle before tightening. Do not overtighten the flare nut, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
