Built for hydraulic and refrigeration tubing systems, this reducer handles pressures up to 1000 psi and operates across a temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F. The 0.81-inch hex body allows for standard wrench engagement during installation. At 0.08 pounds, the compact brass construction is corrosion-resistant and suited for tight, high-integrity tube connections. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in hydraulic, refrigeration, and fluid transfer line applications where a size reduction between SAE 45-degree flare connections is required. It is compatible with aluminum, brass, copper, and steel hydraulic tubing that can be flared, provided the tube wall thickness meets the 0.032-inch minimum. Common install scenarios include service line modifications, equipment hookups, and branch-line reductions in both residential and light commercial systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSAE 45-degree flare geometry for leak-resistant metal-to-metal seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch male flared inlet to 3\/8-inch female flared outlet reduces line size in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 1000 psi for hydraulic and refrigeration service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.81-inch hex body accepts standard open-end or combination wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction compatible with aluminum, copper, steel, and brass tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with aluminum, brass, copper, and steel hydraulic tubing that can be flared to SAE 45-degree specifications, with a minimum tube wall thickness of 0.032 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician, refrigeration mechanic, or plumber. De-pressurize and isolate the system fully before removing or installing any flare fittings. Use two wrenches when tightening flare connections to prevent tube or fitting rotation and avoid over-torquing the brass body. Verify tubing is properly flared to SAE 45-degree specification before making up the connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 3\/8 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 Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees (SAE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\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\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.81 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.22 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: 0.08 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: 10462\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67951882797362,"sku":"10462","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ee100dcaa1326c2cbba860368114fb19_3239880f-e8f2-4ec4-9c56-702c21b32d2a.jpg?v=1791739801","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-10462-sae-45-deg-flare-reducer-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
