Dakota Sourcing 12647 Short Flare Nut 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The DAKOTA SOURCING 12647 is a short bar stock flare nut sized for 3/8-inch flare connections. Machined from lead-free bar stock, this nut is used to secure flare fittings in refrigerant, fuel gas, and potable water lines where lead-free compliance is required. Its short profile reduces overall assembly length in tight installations. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and gas fitters install this type of fitting during system assembly, repair, or retrofit work on copper tube flare connections.

This short flare nut suits residential and light commercial applications where a standard 3/8-inch flare connection is called for. Common install scenarios include refrigerant line sets, LP and natural gas supply connections, and potable water supply lines. The lead-free construction makes it appropriate for use in drinking water systems in jurisdictions that enforce lead-free plumbing requirements under applicable codes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician, plumber, or gas fitter. Always depressurize and isolate the line before loosening or replacing flare fittings. Use an appropriately sized flare wrench to avoid rounding the nut; do not use adjustable pliers on flare nuts. For gas and refrigerant systems, leak-test all connections after reassembly per applicable codes before returning the system to service.
