It features a 45-degree flare end connection with a male NPTF threaded port, allowing a branch line to be tapped off a main tube run while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant seal. The fitting is machined from brass, making it well suited for plumbing, refrigeration, and pneumatic applications where corrosion resistance and reliable sealing are required. The tube outside diameter is 1\/8 inch and the thread size is 1\/8-27 NPTF. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics typically install this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in residential and light commercial systems where small-diameter tubing must branch off to a secondary line or component. Typical applications include refrigeration line sets, pneumatic control circuits, fuel gas distribution at low pressure, and hydraulic instrumentation lines. The 45-degree flare connection style is common in refrigeration and automotive-style fluid systems where vibration resistance and a metal-to-metal seal are preferred over compression or push-to-connect alternatives. The male NPTF thread allows direct connection to a female pipe-threaded port on a valve, manifold, or component body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree flare end connection provides a metal-to-metal seal without the need for thread sealant on the flare side\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8-27 NPTF male thread for a pressure-tight connection to female pipe ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch tube outside diameter suits small-bore tubing common in refrigeration and instrumentation work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction resists corrosion in water, refrigerant, and light gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMale branch tee configuration allows a branch line to split off without additional fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually, making it practical for single-fitting service and repair work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1\/8 inch OD flared tubing with 1\/8-27 NPTF threaded ports in refrigeration, plumbing, and pneumatic applications.\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 familiar with flared tube connections. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and flared to the correct 45-degree angle using a calibrated flaring tool before tightening the fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape only to the NPTF male thread, not to the flare connection, and torque fittings to the tool and tubing manufacturer guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male Branch Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8-27\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flare x MNPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlared Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27121707\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: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 145F-2-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541525659954,"sku":"145F-2-2","price":45.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d33ac48d922b9d0eeb45e80301a9e159.jpg?v=1785878346","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-145f-2-2-brass-male-branch-tee-1-8-in-od-45-degree-flare","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
