Eaton 2024-6-8S Steel Flared Tube Male Elbow 1/2 in Od

Product Description

The EATON 2024-6-8S is a 90-degree male elbow fitting designed for flared tube connections in high-pressure fluid and gas line applications. It features a 37-degree flare seat on the tube end and a male NPT thread on the pipe end, providing a Flare x MNPT configuration that transitions between flared tubing and threaded pipe systems. Constructed from steel, this fitting handles working pressures up to 6000 psi and operates across a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 400 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this type of fitting in refrigeration, hydraulic, and fuel line systems.

The EATON 2024-6-8S is suited for residential and commercial installations where a 1/2-inch OD flared tube must be connected to a 3/8-inch NPT male threaded port at a 90-degree angle. Common applications include refrigerant line sets, hydraulic circuits, fuel delivery systems, and compressed air lines. The 37-degree flare angle conforms to SAE standard 070202, making it appropriate for use in systems engineered to SAE flare specifications. The steel construction supports use in environments with elevated pressure and moderate temperature cycling.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry routes tubing at a right angle without bending the tube
• 37-degree flare seat meets SAE 070202 specification for consistent sealing
• 6000 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure hydraulic and refrigerant service
• Operating temperature range of -65 degrees F to 400 degrees F suits a wide range of fluid and gas applications
• Flare x MNPT end configuration transitions flared tubing to NPT threaded pipe systems
• Steel construction provides durability in demanding mechanical and industrial environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/2-inch OD flared tubing and 3/8-inch NPT threaded ports conforming to SAE 37-degree flare standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or pipefitter familiar with flare fitting assembly. De-pressurize and isolate the line before disassembly or installation. Ensure the flared tube end is properly formed to a 37-degree angle before seating to avoid leaks. Apply thread sealant compatible with the system fluid to the NPT threads, and do not overtighten, as steel flare fittings can crack if torqued excessively.
