Ball valves in this configuration provide a full quarter-turn operation that opens or closes the flow path quickly and reliably, reducing leak points in flare-connected tubing systems. This valve is a standard trade component installed by licensed HVAC and refrigeration technicians during system commissioning, service, and recovery procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball valve is suited for use in residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems where flare fittings are the connection standard. The female flare inlet and male flare outlet allow direct in-line installation on copper line sets without the need for additional adapters. It is commonly installed on suction and liquid lines, service ports, and recovery equipment connections where a secure, leak-free shutoff is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch female flare x male flare configuration for direct in-line installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull quarter-turn ball valve operation for fast, positive shutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlare connections eliminate the need for solder joints at this fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact design suited for tight equipment access areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service valve for residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems using standard 1\/4-inch flare connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed HVAC or refrigeration technician following applicable local codes and EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling regulations. Recover all refrigerant and depressurize the system before disconnecting or replacing any line-set components. Use a flare wrench on both fittings to avoid rounding the flare nuts, and inspect flare seats for damage before making connections. Do not overtighten flare connections; verify the assembly is leak-free with an electronic leak detector or nitrogen pressure test before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch Female Flare x Male Flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Quarter-turn\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: MUELLER STREAMLINE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: a 18567u\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MUELLER STREAMLINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51467686052146,"sku":"A 18567U","price":157.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313946707.jpg?v=1783910319","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mueller-streamline-a-18567u-1-4-in-flare-ball-valve","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
