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

Product Description

The EATON 2024-8-8S 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 reliable Flare x MNPT transition. 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. It is a standard single-piece fitting sold individually and suited for use by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters assembling or servicing pressurized systems.

This fitting is used in hydraulic, refrigeration, and compressed gas line assemblies where a 90-degree directional change is needed between a flared tube and a male NPT port. The 1/2 inch tube OD and 1/2 inch MNPT thread sizing makes it a common choice in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, fuel lines, and pneumatic circuits. It is installed where flared tubing terminates at a threaded port such as a manifold, valve body, or equipment housing.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for pressurized tube assemblies using 1/2 inch OD flared tubing and 1/2 inch male NPT ports in HVAC, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician familiar with flared tube connections and NPT thread assembly. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPT threads per the system fluid compatibility requirements, and torque to the assembly standard for the connected equipment. Inspect the flare seat and tube flare for damage or deformation before assembly to ensure a leak-free seal.
