It is designed for use in hydraulic and fuel line assemblies where a reliable, leak-resistant transition between inverted flare tubing and a tapered pipe thread port is required. The fitting is machined from brass and rated to 1200 psi working pressure with a temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F. The 0.56-inch hex body allows for standard wrench engagement during installation. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydraulic system technicians install this type of adapter in low-pressure to medium-pressure fluid or gas circuit connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing with a 0.032-inch tube wall. Common install scenarios include brake line transitions, fuel system connections, and refrigerant or pneumatic circuits where an inverted flare tube meets a NPTF-ported component such as a valve body, manifold, or pump fitting. The overall length of the fitting is 0.98 inches, making it compact enough for tight routing arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch female inverted flare inlet x 1\/4-inch male NPTF outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1200 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.56-inch hex for wrench engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with 0.032-inch tube wall tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 0.98-inch overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing with a 0.032-inch tube wall.

Always depressurize and drain the system before removing or installing fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPTF male threads in accordance with the system fluid compatibility requirements. Do not overtighten the inverted flare nut, as brass fittings are susceptible to thread damage from excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Inverted Flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-20 x 1\/4-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.56 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.98 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Wall Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.032 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1200 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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 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: 12046\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67951545024818,"sku":"12046","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b58d621760960718ff834b8499c9d7ca.jpg?v=1791729585","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-12046-brass-inverted-flare-adapter","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
