Midland Industries 10249 Brass Flare Adapter 7/8 Sae X 1/2 Fpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 10249 is a brass female flare adapter designed to connect a 7/8-inch SAE 45-degree flared line to a 1/2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) port. Machined from brass, this fitting provides a leak-resistant transition between flared tubing and threaded pipe connections. It is commonly used in refrigeration lines, HVAC refrigerant piping, and fuel gas systems where SAE 45-degree flare fittings are the specified connection standard. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers install this type of adapter when joining flared copper or aluminum tubing to threaded equipment ports or manifolds.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 7/8-inch SAE 45-degree flare connection must transition to a 1/2-inch FPT threaded port. Typical installation scenarios include refrigerant line sets, fuel supply piping, and hydronic or gas distribution systems. The brass construction makes it compatible with copper, brass, and other non-ferrous tubing systems commonly found in HVAC and plumbing rough-in work.

Key Features

• 7/8-inch SAE 45-degree flared inlet provides a secure, leak-resistant flare connection
• 1/2-inch FPT outlet threads directly onto standard pipe or equipment ports
• Brass construction resists corrosion and is compatible with non-ferrous piping systems
• Female adapter configuration simplifies inline transitions between flare and threaded connections
• Minimum order quantity of 1 allows single-unit purchase for service and repair work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems using SAE 45-degree flare connections at 7/8-inch and 1/2-inch FPT threaded ports in HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or plumber in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. De-pressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any fittings. Apply thread sealant rated for the service medium to the FPT threads; do not apply sealant to the flare seat. Verify the flare is properly formed and free of nicks before tightening to avoid connection leaks.
