It features a 45-degree flare on one end and a male iron pipe (MIP) thread on the other, connecting 1\/4-inch OD tubing to a 3\/8-inch threaded fitting. Constructed from brass, this connector is rated for a maximum working temperature of 250 degrees F. It meets ASA, ASME, and SAE standards, making it appropriate for professional trade installations requiring code-compliant fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is used in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration lines, and plumbing applications where soft copper or aluminum tubing must transition to a threaded pipe connection. The flare-by-MIP end configuration makes it a common choice for refrigerant line sets, fuel gas lines, and similar pressure-carrying systems. It is sold individually and is suited for service and repair work as well as new installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree flare angle provides a reliable, vibration-resistant seal on 1\/4-inch OD tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlare x MIP end connection transitions copper or aluminum tubing to male threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability in wet or humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 250 degrees F maximum working temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASA, ASME, and SAE standards for professional and code-compliant installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact, single-piece design with no additional components required\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 1\/4-inch OD flared tubing with a 3\/8-inch male iron pipe thread connection, typical in residential and light commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or plumber. Shut off system pressure and recover any refrigerant or depressurize the line before disassembling existing fittings. Use a calibrated flaring tool to produce a clean, properly seated 45-degree flare before tightening the connector. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, and follow applicable ASA, ASME, and local plumbing or mechanical codes for torque and sealant requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: MPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flare x MIP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlared Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 degrees F (121 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASA, ASME, SAE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27121707\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: CERROBRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: U1-4C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CERROBRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67909767561522,"sku":"U1-4C","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c093bf98162830a11f909292aa8a84a8.jpg?v=1791191828","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cerrobrass-u1-4c-brass-flared-tube-connector-1-4-in-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
