This brass fitting transitions between a 3\/8-inch and 1\/4-inch connection, making it a practical solution when two different line sizes meet at a single joint. The body measures 0.74 inches in length with a 0.81-inch hex, and the 5\/8-18 thread size and 0.032-inch minimum tube wall specification ensure compatibility with standard hydraulic tubing. Rated to 1000 psi and a temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F, this fitting handles demanding service conditions in both stationary and mobile equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for use with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing in residential, commercial, and industrial fluid system work. The SAE 45-degree flare connection style is common in refrigeration lines, hydraulic circuits, fuel systems, and compressed air plumbing. Technicians and plumbers working on reducing connections between mismatched tube sizes will find this nut provides a reliable, leak-resistant joint when properly flared and torqued to specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSAE 45-degree flare connection type for leak-resistant joints on flared tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces from 3\/8-inch to 1\/4-inch connection size in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction resists corrosion and suits a wide range of fluid media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 1000 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing using SAE 45-degree flare connections.

Shut down and depressurize the hydraulic or fluid system completely before disassembling any fittings. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and properly flared to SAE 45-degree specification before seating the nut. Do not overtighten; follow the applicable system manufacturer torque guidelines and relevant IPC or SAE standards for flare fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 x 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE 45-degree Flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.74 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.81 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tube Wall\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.032 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1000 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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Tubing Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper, Brass, Aluminum, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 10023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948541215026,"sku":"10023","price":15.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1e13d00424a5dfcc75c786e9ec831c68.jpg?v=1791666372","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-10023-hex-reducing-short-rod-nut-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
