Eaton 2024-2-3S Steel Flared Tube Male Elbow 3/16 in

Product Description

The EATON 2024-2-3S is a 90-degree male elbow fitting designed to connect 3/16-inch OD flared tubing to a 1/8-inch male NPT port. It uses a 37-degree flare seat on the tube end and a standard MNPT thread on the port end, creating a Flare x MNPT end configuration. Constructed from steel, this fitting is rated for service from -65 degrees F to 400 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of fluid and gas line applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics install this type of fitting during line set fabrication or system repair work.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial applications where small-diameter steel tubing must transition to a threaded port connection at a 90-degree angle. Typical scenarios include fuel lines, hydraulic control lines, and instrumentation tubing runs where a right-angle change of direction is required at a manifold, valve body, or panel bulkhead. The 37-degree flare seat conforms to SAE 070202 standards, which are common in fluid power and refrigeration plumbing assemblies.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry allows direction change in confined plumbing runs
• 37-degree flare seat per SAE 070202 standard
• Flare x MNPT end configuration for tube-to-threaded-port transitions
• Steel construction rated from -65 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• 3/16-inch tube OD with 0.128-inch inside diameter
• Compact overall length of 0.955 inches for tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 3/16-inch OD flared steel tubing with 1/8-inch NPT threaded ports, conforming to SAE 070202 flare fitting standards.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or refrigeration mechanics. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Ensure the tubing flare is formed correctly to the 37-degree seat angle before tightening — an improperly formed flare is a primary cause of joint leaks. Apply thread sealant compatible with the system fluid on the NPT threads only; never apply sealant to the flare seat surfaces.
