The fitting transitions a 3\/16-inch flare connection on one end to a 1\/8-inch MPT connection on the other, using a 3\/8-24 x 1\/8-27 thread configuration. Rated to 1900 psi and suitable for operating temperatures from -65 to 250 degrees F, this adapter is built for demanding service conditions. The hex body measures 0.43 inches across flats for wrench engagement, and overall length is 1 inch. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydraulic system installers are the primary trades working with this fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is intended for use in hydraulic lines, refrigeration tubing runs, fuel lines, and similar fluid-transfer applications where a flare-to-pipe-thread transition is required. It is compatible with aluminum, brass, copper, and steel hydraulic tubing that can be flared to the SAE 45-degree specification. Typical installations include low-pressure hydraulic circuits, OEM fluid-line assemblies, and service replacements where a compact, one-piece union adapter is needed at a pipe-thread port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16-inch SAE 45-degree male flare on one end, 1\/8-inch MPT on the other for a direct flare-to-pipe-thread transition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1900 psi working pressure rating for use in hydraulic and fluid-handling circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F suits refrigeration and hydraulic service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction resists corrosion and is compatible with aluminum, brass, copper, and steel tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.43-inch hex body allows standard wrench installation in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum tube wall thickness of 0.03 inches required for proper flare formation and sealing\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.

Depressurize and drain the fluid system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use a calibrated flaring tool to produce a clean, consistent SAE 45-degree flare on the tubing end before assembly; damaged or uneven flares are a leading cause of joint leakage. Apply thread sealant to the MPT threads as required by the applicable plumbing or fluid-system code, and tighten to the fitting manufacturer's recommendation using a wrench on the hex body rather than on the tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches (SAE 45-degree Male Flared)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches (MPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-24 x 1\/8-27\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.43 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1900 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\u003eMinimum Tube Wall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 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: 0.427 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: 248X3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948825608498,"sku":"248X3","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/28d28442df5006f3f708dcb87ef9c0ea_d5f54b40-442e-4559-a42b-bd1f9171689e.jpg?v=1791673925","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-248x3-half-union-adapter-brass-flare-fitting","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
