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

Product Description

The EATON 2024-6-6S is a 90-degree male elbow fitting designed for flared tube connections in hydraulic, refrigeration, fuel, and compressed-air plumbing systems. Constructed from steel, it transitions between a 37-degree flare tube end and a male NPT threaded port. The tube outside diameter is 3/8 inches, the thread is 3/8 NPT, and the overall length is 1.594 inches. The fitting is rated for service from -65 degrees F to 400 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding temperature environments. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fluid-system mechanics use this fitting where a 90-degree direction change is required in a flared-tube line.

This fitting is installed in residential and commercial applications wherever a 3/8-inch OD flared tube must connect at a 90-degree angle to a male NPT port. Common installations include refrigerant line sets, fuel delivery systems, hydraulic circuits, and compressed-air distribution. The Flare x MNPT end configuration allows direct connection to standard NPT-tapped ports without adapters. The steel construction handles the pressures and temperatures common to these service environments.

Key Features

• 90-degree male elbow configuration for compact direction changes in tube runs
• 37-degree flare seat per SAE J514 (SAE 070202) standard for reliable leak-free seating
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic, fuel, and refrigeration service
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• Flare x MNPT ends for direct connection to NPT-tapped ports
• Inside diameter of 0.301 inches for consistent flow through the fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems using 3/8-inch OD flared tube with 3/8 NPT ported connections in hydraulic, fuel, refrigeration, or compressed-air plumbing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician, plumber, or fluid-systems mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any flared fittings. Inspect the flare seat and tube flare for nicks or deformation before assembly; a damaged flare will not seal correctly. Thread engagement should follow applicable codes such as ASME B1.20.1 for NPT threads — do not overtighten, as steel fittings can crack or strip the mating port.
