Manufactured from lead-free brass, this fitting meets current potable-water and refrigerant-line safety requirements. The female flared connection accepts a 5\/16-inch tube end finished to the SAE 45-degree flare standard. It carries a 1\/2-20 thread size and is rated for service from -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a broad range of fluid and gas applications encountered in the trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis short rod nut is used where a compact flare coupling is needed on copper, brass, aluminum, or steel tubing runs. Typical applications include residential and light commercial HVAC refrigerant lines, compressed air systems, fuel-gas distribution, and hydraulic or pneumatic tubing assemblies. The short-body profile is well suited for installations with limited wrench clearance. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters regularly specify this fitting when replacing worn or damaged flare nuts on existing assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSAE 45-degree female flare connection for a reliable, metal-to-metal seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction meets current safe-drinking-water and environmental standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch connection size with 1\/2-20 thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShort-body rod-nut profile for installations with limited clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel tubing finished to the SAE 45-degree flare standard.

Always depressurize and evacuate the line before removing or installing flare fittings. Inspect the tube flare for cracks, ovality, or surface defects before tightening; a damaged flare seat will not seal correctly regardless of torque applied. Follow applicable codes, including ASHRAE 15, IFGC, and IPC, for refrigerant and fuel-gas line work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Flared (SAE 45 degree)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead-Free Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Tubing Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper, Brass, Aluminum, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.85 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.55 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 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: 704014-05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67952062333234,"sku":"704014-05","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f314c11f6f4e37188d743b41ff496b69_9690e7ff-c18e-4630-bd6d-dd7ab00c9151.jpg?v=1791745410","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-704014-05-flare-short-rod-nut-5-16in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
