Connection 1 is 5\/8 inch SAE 45-degree flare with a 7\/8-14 thread; Connection 2 is 1\/2 inch SAE 45-degree flare with a 3\/4-16 thread. The fitting measures 1.87 inches in length with a 0.87-inch hex and weighs approximately 0.16 pounds. Rated to 650 psi and suitable for service between -65 and 250 degrees F, this union is installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians working with refrigerant, fuel gas, or hydraulic line assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing flare union is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever a SAE 45-degree flared line must transition from 5\/8-inch to 1\/2-inch tubing. Typical install scenarios include refrigerant line repairs, fuel supply connections, and hydraulic system assemblies. The fitting is compatible with aluminum, brass, copper, and steel hydraulic tubing with a minimum wall thickness of 0.035 inches. Its all-brass construction makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations where corrosion resistance is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 5\/8-inch SAE 45-degree flare to 1\/2-inch SAE 45-degree flare in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 650 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.87-inch hex for standard wrench engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with aluminum, brass, copper, and steel hydraulic tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll-brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with aluminum, brass, copper, and steel hydraulic tubing having a minimum tube wall thickness of 0.035 inches and SAE 45-degree flared ends sized at 5\/8 inch and 1\/2 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician familiar with flare fitting assembly. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disconnecting any fittings. Use two wrenches when tightening to prevent tube rotation and avoid overtightening, which can crack the flare seat. Verify flare geometry and tube wall thickness before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE 45 Degree Flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE 45 Degree Flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.87 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.87 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.85 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.95 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 650 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tube Wall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.16 pounds\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: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 04056-1008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67950271988018,"sku":"04056-1008","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/414bba33fdc320eb941ae3250621873c.jpg?v=1791711693","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-04056-1008-brass-reducing-flare-union","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
