It transitions from a 3\/8 inch female flared connection to a 1\/2 inch male flare connection, using 5\/8-18 and 3\/4-16 thread specifications respectively. Constructed from solid brass, this fitting is rated to 1,000 psi working pressure and handles temperatures from -65 to 250 degrees F. The compact body measures approximately 1.35 inches in length and weighs 0.11 pounds. It is typically installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydraulic system specialists working with metal tubing lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is suited for use in hydraulic tubing systems across residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. It is compatible with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing with a minimum wall thickness of 0.032 inches. Common install scenarios include equipment lines, fluid-transfer manifolds, and service connections where a size transition between 3\/8 inch and 1\/2 inch flare fittings is required. Its brass construction resists corrosion in both wet and dry service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch female flared to 1\/2 inch male flare transition in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 1,000 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum tubing wall thickness: 0.032 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing with a 0.032 inch minimum wall thickness.

Depressurize and isolate the tubing system fully before disconnecting any fittings. Use appropriate flare nut wrenches to avoid deforming the fitting hex; do not use pipe wrenches on flare fittings. Verify tubing flare angles and wall thickness meet the fitting specifications before assembly to ensure a leak-free seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches Female Flared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches Male Flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-18 x 3\/4-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,000 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\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\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.35 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.85 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 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: 601-68\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949912686898,"sku":"601-68","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/438b1c4e261084a211583cec9105c4fb_991b7f3b-22d1-478a-a089-c5d0b2d51ef6.jpg?v=1791704115","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-601-68-brass-flare-adapter-3-8f-x-1-2m","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
