Eaton 2024-12-8S Steel Male Elbow 1/2 in Tube Od 37 Flare

Product Description

The EATON 2024-12-8S is a 90-degree male elbow fitting designed for flared tube connections in high-pressure fluid and gas line applications. Machined from steel, it features a 37-degree flare seat on the tube end and a male NPT thread on the pipe end, making it a standard Flare x MNPT configuration. With a maximum working pressure of 6000 psi and a temperature range of -65 to 400 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding hydraulic, pneumatic, and refrigeration line work. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting where a directional change is needed at a threaded port entry.

This fitting suits residential and commercial installations requiring a 90-degree transition from a flared tube to a male NPT threaded connection. Common applications include hydraulic lines, refrigerant tubing, fuel systems, and compressed air circuits where a reliable, leak-free elbow connection is required. The 1/2-inch tube OD and 3/4-inch NPT thread sizing are frequently encountered in mid-range fluid circuit assemblies. It conforms to SAE 070202 standards, making it appropriate for use wherever that specification is called out.

Key Features

• 90-degree male elbow geometry for directional routing in tight spaces
• 37-degree flare seat meets SAE 070202 standard for secure tube-to-fitting sealing
• Rated to 6000 psi maximum working pressure for demanding hydraulic and high-pressure applications
• Wide service temperature range: -65 to 400 degrees F
• Steel construction for durability in high-load and vibration-prone systems
• Flare x MNPT end configuration for direct connection to NPT-ported components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic, pneumatic, refrigeration, and fuel systems using 1/2-inch OD flared tube connections with 3/4-inch NPT male thread ports, conforming to SAE 070202.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or HVAC technician familiar with flared tube fittings and NPT thread sealing practices. De-pressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPT male threads per the system fluid compatibility requirements. Do not over-tighten the flare nut onto the 37-degree seat, as this can distort the flare and compromise the seal.
