This fitting provides a secure, leak-resistant transition between flare and pipe thread connections commonly found in refrigeration, HVAC, and plumbing systems. It is sold individually and is a standard component used by HVAC technicians and plumbers when joining copper tubing to threaded pipe assemblies during system installation or repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is suited for residential and light commercial applications where an SAE flare connection must mate with a male NPT pipe thread. Typical install scenarios include refrigerant line connections, fuel gas lines, and hydraulic or pneumatic systems requiring a straight inline transition between tube and pipe fittings. The straight adapter profile keeps the connection compact and in-line, making it practical in space-constrained installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSAE flare inlet accommodates 3\/8-inch flare tube connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch male pipe thread outlet for direct connection to NPT fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight adapter design maintains inline flow path\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually for single-point replacement or repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for systems requiring a 3\/8-inch SAE flare to 1\/2-inch male pipe thread straight adapter connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or plumber in accordance with applicable codes, including the IFGC and IPC where relevant. Shut off system pressure and isolate the line before disassembling or installing any flare fitting. Use appropriate flare wrenches to avoid rounding the fitting; do not use pipe wrenches on flare nuts. Apply thread sealant on the male pipe thread side only, and never apply sealant to the flare seating surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE Flare x Male Pipe Thread (NPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdapter Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HOLYOKE FITTINGS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: fm38x12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOLYOKE FITTINGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383834542386,"sku":"FM38X12","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312675074.webp?v=1782608913","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/holyoke-fittings-fm38x12-sae-flare-adapter-3-8-x-1-2","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
