Eaton 2024-4-6S Steel Flared Tube Male Elbow 3/8 in Od

Product Description

The EATON 2024-4-6S is a 90-degree male elbow tube fitting designed for flared tube connections in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid system applications. It features a 37-degree flare seat on the tube end and a male NPT thread on the pipe end, creating a Flare x MNPT configuration. The tube OD is 3/8 inches with an inside diameter of 0.301 inches and an overall length of 1.365 inches. Constructed from steel, this fitting delivers reliable sealing performance across a wide temperature range. It is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and hydraulic system mechanics working with flared tubing assemblies.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial applications wherever a 90-degree direction change is needed between a flared tube line and an NPT-threaded port. Common install scenarios include refrigerant line connections, fuel lines, hydraulic circuits, and pneumatic systems that require a compact elbow transition. The male NPT thread connects directly to standard NPT-tapped ports or fittings, and the 37-degree flare nut seats against the flare seat to form a leak-resistant metal-to-metal seal. This fitting meets SAE J70202 standards, making it appropriate for use in regulated system assemblies.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow configuration for tight routing in confined installations
• 37-degree flare seat conforms to SAE standards for metal-to-metal sealing
• Flare x MNPT end connections for direct tube-to-port transitions
• Steel construction for durability in high-pressure and temperature-variable environments
• Wide service temperature range from -65 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• Meets SAE J70202 standards for use in regulated fluid system assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for fluid, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems requiring a 3/8 inch OD flared tube connection with a 1/4 inch MNPT port end.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed technician or qualified mechanic familiar with flared tube fitting assemblies. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Hand-tighten the NPT thread and flare nut before applying wrench torque to avoid cross-threading or damaging the flare seat. Do not overtighten the flare nut, as this can crack the flare or distort the seat and cause leaks.
