With a 3\/8-inch tube OD and 5\/8-18 UNF thread on both ends, it provides a secure, leak-resistant joint rated for up to 1000 psi working pressure and 250 degrees F. The all-brass construction resists corrosion and handles the temperature and pressure demands common in refrigeration, automotive, and fluid-power lines. Licensed HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and plumbers use this fitting when connecting or extending inverted flare tubing runs in tight spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where SAE J51 inverted flare connections are specified. Typical installations include brake lines, refrigerant tubing, and hydraulic or pneumatic lines that use inverted flare ends. Its compact overall length of 0.81 inches makes it well suited for confined plumbing or equipment cabinet routing. The UL Listed rating adds an extra layer of compliance verification for installations subject to inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlare x flare end connections with 5\/8-18 UNF thread on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum working temperature of 250 degrees F (121 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact design at 0.81 inches overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets SAE J51 standards and carries UL Listed certification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and machinability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style inverted flare union for 3\/8-inch OD tubing lines using SAE J51 inverted flare fittings in refrigeration, hydraulic, or fluid-transfer systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of inverted flare fittings should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the applicable system type. Depressurize and, where applicable, recover any refrigerant from the line before beginning work, following EPA Section 608 requirements. Hand-tighten the fitting before applying a wrench to avoid cross-threading the brass seats. Do not over-torque; brass fittings can deform if seated threads are forced past hand-snug contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inverted Union\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: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-18\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.81 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1000 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\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE J51, UL Listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 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: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 42IFHD-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538419712306,"sku":"42IFHD-6","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f59dd89e66d78129e82b28214fce2315.jpg?v=1785824619","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-42ifhd-6-brass-inverted-flare-union-3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
