Dakota Sourcing 12679 Flare X Mip Adapter Lead Free

Product Description

The DAKOTA SOURCING 12679 is a lead-free flare-to-male iron pipe (MIP) adapter designed to connect a 3/8-inch flare fitting to a 1/2-inch MIP threaded fitting. This type of adapter is a standard component in refrigerant line, gas line, and potable water plumbing systems where a flared tubing connection must transition to a threaded pipe connection. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this fitting during new construction, system retrofits, and appliance connections. The lead-free construction meets compliance requirements for potable water applications.

This adapter is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC installations where copper or aluminum tubing with a 3/8-inch flare is joined to a 1/2-inch male NPT threaded component such as a valve, manifold, or appliance fitting. Typical install scenarios include gas appliance hookups, refrigerant line connections, and potable water supply lines where a secure, leak-free transition between flare and threaded pipe standards is required.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch flare inlet connects to standard 3/8-inch flared tubing
• 1/2-inch MIP outlet threads onto standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves
• Lead-free construction meets requirements for potable water applications
• Compact adapter profile for use in tight spaces during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for plumbing and HVAC systems requiring a 3/8-inch flare to 1/2-inch MIP transition connection.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Always shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service media should be applied to the MIP threads before assembly. The flare connection should be inspected for damage before mating and tightened to hand-tight plus a quarter turn with a wrench to avoid over-tightening and cracking the flare.
