It transitions from a 1\/4-inch male flared end to a 1\/2-inch female flared end, making it a direct solution for reducing line size without additional adapters. Rated to 750 psi and suitable for temperatures ranging from -65 to 250 degrees F, this fitting handles demanding service conditions. The 0.94-inch hex body provides secure wrench engagement during installation. At 0.13 pounds, it is a compact, field-ready component suitable for licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducer is intended for use with aluminum, brass, copper, and steel hydraulic tubing that can be flared to the SAE 45-degree standard. It fits applications in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration lines, and hydraulic plumbing where a size reduction between flared connections is required. The minimum tube wall thickness for proper flare seating is 0.032 inches. Typical installations include service and repair work on refrigerant line sets, fuel lines, and hydraulic circuits where a male-to-female flare size transition is needed at a union point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSAE 45-degree flare configuration for leak-resistant connections on flared tubing systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 1\/4-inch male flared to 1\/2-inch female flared in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 750 psi for use in moderate-pressure hydraulic and refrigeration lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F suits a wide range of service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction compatible with aluminum, brass, copper, and steel flared tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.94-inch hex body allows standard wrench torquing without slipping\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 that can be flared to the SAE 45-degree standard, with a minimum tube wall thickness of 0.032 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified mechanic familiar with flared tubing connections. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any flare fitting. Use an appropriately sized wrench on the hex body to achieve a snug, leak-free connection without overtightening, which can distort the flare seat. Inspect the flare seat on both the tubing and the fitting for damage or debris before assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male Flared\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: Female Flared\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlare Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE 45-Degree\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 750 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\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.94 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tube Wall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.032 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: 0.13 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: 10461\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949658145074,"sku":"10461","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ee100dcaa1326c2cbba860368114fb19_491b52e5-7487-438b-8c29-5c651a08586e.jpg?v=1791697203","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-10461-sae-45-deg-flare-reducer-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
