It changes the direction of a refrigerant or gas line by 90 degrees, allowing installers to route tubing cleanly in tight spaces or around obstructions. The lead-free construction meets drinking water safety standards and makes it suitable for use in both refrigeration and plumbing applications. HVAC technicians and plumbers install this type of fitting during new equipment installation and service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis elbow is used in residential and light commercial refrigeration, air conditioning, and gas line applications where a directional change is needed at a flare-to-MIP connection point. It is well-suited for tight equipment bays, appliance connections, and copper tubing runs where a straight fitting is not practical. The 1\/4-inch size is common in refrigerant line and small gas supply configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90-degree angle changes tubing direction without bending copper line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch flare inlet connects to standard flared copper tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch MIP outlet threads into female pipe connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free construction suitable for potable and non-potable systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact design fits restricted equipment and appliance spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for residential and light commercial refrigeration, air conditioning, and gas line systems using 1\/4-inch flare and 1\/4-inch MIP connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is installed by licensed HVAC technicians or plumbers working on refrigerant lines, gas supply lines, or plumbing systems. Always shut off the refrigerant system, gas supply, or water supply before disconnecting or installing fittings. Flare connections require a properly prepared flare seat on the copper tubing — inspect the flare for cracks or deformation before assembly. Torque the flare nut by hand first, then tighten with two wrenches to avoid twisting the tubing or cross-threading the MIP connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 Degree Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch Flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch MIP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: DAKOTA SOURCING\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12618\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DAKOTA SOURCING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51672592744754,"sku":"12618","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/62297180e887d.jpg?v=1787969562","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dakota-sourcing-12618-90-degree-flare-x-mip-elbow","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
