Midland Industries 248X8X8 Half Union Adapter Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 248X8X8 is a brass half union adapter designed to connect SAE 45-degree male flared tubing to a male pipe thread fitting. It accepts a 1/2-inch flare connection on one end and a 1/2-inch MPT connection on the other, with a 3/4-16 x 1/2-14 thread specification. At 1.79 inches in length with a 0.87-inch hex, this compact fitting is built for hydraulic and fluid system applications where a reliable flare-to-pipe transition is needed. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydraulic system installers routinely work with fittings in this class.

This half union adapter is suited for use in hydraulic and fluid transfer lines involving aluminum, brass, copper, or steel tubing that can be flared. It is a common choice in residential and light commercial installations where a SAE 45-degree flare connection must transition to a threaded pipe fitting. The fitting performs across a wide temperature range, making it appropriate for both cold and moderately elevated temperature service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, HVAC technician, or hydraulic system mechanic. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use a properly calibrated flaring tool to prepare the tube end to SAE 45-degree specification before seating the flare connection. Apply thread sealant to the MPT end per applicable codes and the fitting manufacturer's guidance.
