It accepts a 1\/4 inch tube OD with a 7\/16-24 UNF thread on both ends, providing a secure, leak-resistant flare-to-flare connection. Rated to 1400 psi maximum working pressure and up to 250 degrees F, this fitting handles the temperature and pressure demands found in mobile equipment, brake lines, and light refrigerant circuits. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydraulic system mechanics install this type of union when a straight inline connection between two inverted-flare tube runs is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where SAE J51 inverted flare connections are specified. Typical install scenarios include automotive and mobile hydraulic brake lines, low-pressure refrigerant copper tubing runs, and general fluid-transfer plumbing that requires a removable inline union. Its compact overall length of 0.63 inches makes it practical in tight routing spaces. Compliance with SAE J51 and UL listing means it meets recognized industry standards for inverted flare tube fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch tube OD with 7\/16-24 UNF thread on both ends for flare x flare connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 1400 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 250 degrees F maximum working temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and refrigerant service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompliant with SAE J51 and UL Listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact overall length of 0.63 inches for installations with limited clearance\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 J51 inverted flare tube connections with 1\/4 inch OD tubing and 7\/16-24 UNF threaded fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of inverted flare fittings is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or hydraulic system mechanics. Before servicing any line, depressurize the system completely and, where applicable, recover any refrigerant per EPA Section 608 requirements. Ensure tube ends are properly flared to the correct SAE inverted flare angle before assembly, and do not over-tighten the connection, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque. Follow applicable SAE, NEC, or system-specific codes for line routing and support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube OD\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flare x Flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1400 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: 0.63 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE J51, UL Listed\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: 42IFHD-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538794021170,"sku":"42IFHD-4","price":25.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fe7d06bbe9631769b72bde8fc3f5face.jpg?v=1785826808","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-42ifhd-4-brass-inverted-flare-union-1-4-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
