The fitting accepts 3\/8-inch tube OD on the flared end and uses a 5\/8-18 UNF thread. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1000 psi and a maximum working temperature of 250 degrees F (121 degrees C). The compact overall length of 1.23 inches makes it well suited for tight installation spaces. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers are the primary installers of this fitting type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration applications where copper tubing connections require a reliable, leak-free transition between a flared tube end and a soldered joint. Its 45-degree flare angle conforms to SAE J512 and SAE J513 standards, making it a standard-geometry fitting appropriate for use with compatible SAE-spec flare assemblies. The 3\/8-inch tube OD dimension is a common size found in suction and liquid line assemblies as well as various plumbing branch connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree SAE flare angle per SAE J512 and SAE J513\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlare-to-solder end connection for mixed-joint tube assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and machinability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) maximum working temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL Listed; meets SAE J512, SAE J513 standards\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 3\/8-inch OD copper tube assemblies using 45-degree SAE flare connections with a 5\/8-18 UNF thread, typical in residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or plumber. Isolate and recover any refrigerant or depressurize the system fully before disassembling existing fittings. The solder end requires proper flux application and a clean, deburred tube before sweating; the flare end must be formed with a calibrated flaring tool to SAE specification to ensure a leak-free seat. Do not overtighten the flare nut, as brass fittings are susceptible to thread damage and seat deformation.\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\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flare x Solder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlared Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube OD\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduced Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.23 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 J512, SAE J513, 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: 43F-6-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539404357938,"sku":"43F-6-8","price":17.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4e954e283053a5566a4fdaa6f76b7ec6_efcd0d0e-3893-4ab7-9566-cd87afb1a39b.jpg?v=1785839367","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-43f-6-8-brass-flare-to-solder-fitting-3-8-in-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
