Both ends are 1\/2-inch male flared connections with a 3\/4-16 thread specification, conforming to SAE 45-degree flare standards. Constructed from lead-free brass, it meets regulatory requirements for potable-water-adjacent and environmentally sensitive installations. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics install this fitting when routing tubing around obstacles or transitioning line direction at a 90-degree angle without the need for soldering or specialized tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis union elbow is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving aluminum, brass, copper, or steel tubing. It is commonly used in refrigerant line sets, fuel gas distribution, and hydraulic or pneumatic tubing assemblies where an SAE 45-degree flare connection is specified. The 90-degree turn allows technicians to route lines efficiently in tight mechanical spaces, utility rooms, or equipment rooms where straight runs are not practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction meets regulatory standards for environmentally sensitive and potable-adjacent applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSAE 45-degree flare geometry on both ends ensures a leak-resistant metal-to-metal seal without solder or adhesive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch male flared x 1\/2-inch male flared configuration for a same-size union connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4-16 thread specification for consistent torque and thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with aluminum, brass, copper, or steel tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for temperatures from -40 to 250 degrees F, covering a wide range of service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with aluminum, brass, copper, or steel tubing systems using SAE 45-degree flare fittings.

Ensure all system pressure is fully relieved and the line is depressurized before disassembling or installing any fitting. Flare connections rely on proper flare geometry and clean mating surfaces  -  inspect both tubing flares and fitting seats before assembly to avoid leaks. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer torque guidance for 3\/4-16 flare fittings; do not overtighten, as this can deform the flare seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead-Free Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch Male Flared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch Male Flared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlare Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees (SAE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurn Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Tubing Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Brass, Copper, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.45 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.13 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: 704055-08\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949759693106,"sku":"704055-08","price":16.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/95e35d13744a5031a90c34db10f5d66f_1c035856-c589-41ab-b15c-321fef349c3b.jpg?v=1791700548","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-704055-08-45-deg-flare-union-elbow-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
