It carries a 5\/8-18 thread on the flare side and 1\/4-18 NPT on the pipe side, making it suitable for refrigeration, HVAC, and gas line applications where a compact union-style transition is required. The lead-free brass construction meets modern potable-water and plumbing code requirements. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration service techs are the primary installers of this fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is rated for use across a broad temperature range of -40 to 250 degrees F, making it appropriate for both refrigerant line and low-pressure gas service. It is compatible with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel tubing. Typical install scenarios include connecting a flared copper refrigerant line to a threaded port on equipment, or transitioning between a flared tubing run and a male-threaded fitting or valve body in a residential or light commercial system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction compliant with current plumbing and potable-water standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch male flared connection (5\/8-18 thread) on one end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch MIP (1\/4-18 NPT) threaded connection on the other end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature rated from -40 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact half union design for tight-clearance installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with copper, brass, aluminum, or steel tubing in flare-type refrigerant, HVAC, and gas line applications requiring a male flared to male iron pipe thread transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or refrigeration mechanic. Shut off all system pressure and depressurize the line before disassembling or connecting fittings. Flare connections require a properly formed flare seat  -  inspect the tubing flare for cracks or deformation before tightening. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the service medium to the MIP threads; do not apply sealant to flare seats.\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\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male Flared\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-18\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\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper, Brass, Aluminum, Steel\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.080 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: LF48-64\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949704315186,"sku":"LF48-64","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a63b43684aa0c1ae420f006bed73dd62_40ba7b8c-4cfa-4108-801a-b356d4811f28.jpg?v=1791698500","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-lf48-64-half-union-adapter-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
