Dakota Sourcing 12676 Flare X Mip Adapter 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The DAKOTA SOURCING 12676 is a lead-free flare-to-male iron pipe (MIP) adapter designed to connect 1/4-inch flare fittings to 1/4-inch MIP threaded pipe connections. This fitting is commonly used in refrigeration and HVAC systems where copper tubing with flared ends must transition to a threaded pipe or component. Its lead-free construction meets potable-water and low-lead compliance requirements, making it suitable for a broad range of plumbing and refrigeration applications. HVAC technicians and plumbers install this adapter when joining copper refrigerant lines or water supply lines to threaded male fittings on equipment, valves, or manifolds.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing installations. Typical use cases include connecting copper tubing to service valves, pressure gauges, or manifold ports where a flare-to-MIP transition is required. The 1/4-inch flare by 1/4-inch MIP sizing is a standard configuration found throughout refrigeration service work and small-diameter plumbing runs.

Key Features

• 1/4-inch flare inlet by 1/4-inch MIP outlet for standard refrigeration and plumbing connections
• Lead-free construction for compliance with low-lead regulations in potable water and HVAC applications
• Flare fitting design provides a leak-resistant, vibration-tolerant mechanical seal without solder
• MIP thread allows direct connection to female-threaded valves, ports, and fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems requiring a 1/4-inch flare to 1/4-inch MIP adapter in HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed HVAC technicians or plumbers. Shut off refrigerant flow or water supply and relieve system pressure before replacing or installing any fitting. Use an appropriately sized flare nut wrench to avoid rounding the flare nut, and apply thread sealant compatible with the system medium to the MIP threads. Follow applicable codes including ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration systems and IPC or local plumbing codes for potable water installations.
