It accepts 5\/16-inch OD tubing on the flare ends and connects to a 1\/4-18 NPTF male threaded port, allowing a branch takeoff from a main tubing run. The 45-degree flare angle conforms to SAE J512 and SAE J513 standards. Rated to 1200 psi maximum working pressure and 250 degrees F, this fitting is suited for moderate-pressure gas and liquid service. HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used wherever a branch connection must be made in a flared tubing circuit — common in residential and light commercial HVAC refrigerant lines, fuel gas lines, and hydraulic or pneumatic circuits that use SAE 45-degree flare connections. The male NPT branch port threads into a tapped boss or manifold fitting, while the two flare ports continue the main tubing run. Its compact brass construction keeps weight low at 0.1 pounds, making it practical in tight equipment cabinets and coil sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree SAE flare ends conform to SAE J512 and SAE J513 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-18 NPTF male thread provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without sealant tape\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 1200 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 250 degrees F maximum working temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction resists corrosion in refrigerant, fuel gas, and fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL Listed\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 SAE 45-degree flare tubing connections with 5\/16-inch OD tubing and 1\/4-18 NPTF male branch ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, or plumbers working with flared tubing systems. De-pressurize and recover any refrigerant or fluid from the circuit before disassembling or installing fittings. Use a calibrated flaring tool to produce a clean, crack-free 45-degree flare seat — a poor flare is the most common cause of leaks at this connection type. Apply thread sealant rated for the service fluid on the NPTF threads only; do not apply sealant to the flare seats.\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 OD\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-18\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\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1200 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 degrees F (121 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE J512, SAE J513, UL Listing\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-5-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539024871730,"sku":"145F-5-4","price":21.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9ba42e595ca4373cce9f9cedebf5804e.jpg?v=1785833175","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-145f-5-4-brass-flared-male-branch-tee-5-16-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
