The fitting connects a 3\/8-inch OD flared tube to a 1\/4-18 NPTF male thread using a 45-degree flare angle per SAE J512 and SAE J513 standards. Rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure and 250 degrees F maximum working temperature, this connector is built for demanding service conditions. It is installed by HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and plumbers working on copper or compatible metal tubing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC, refrigeration piping, pneumatic lines, and hydraulic applications where a Flare x MNPTF end configuration is required. The 45-degree flare interface provides a metal-to-metal seal that resists vibration loosening and eliminates the need for thread sealant on the flare end. Typical installations include suction and liquid line connections, instrument tubing assemblies, and compressed air or gas distribution systems that call for a 3\/8-inch OD flared tube terminating to a 1\/4-18 pipe thread port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree flare angle conforms to SAE J512 and SAE J513 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1000 psi maximum working pressure for demanding fluid and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e250 degrees F maximum working temperature rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPTF thread standard provides a dry-seal pipe thread connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers corrosion resistance compatible with copper and brass tubing systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL Listed for use in applicable listed systems\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 requiring a 3\/8-inch OD flared tube to 1\/4-18 NPTF male pipe thread connection with a 45-degree flare angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician, refrigeration mechanic, or licensed plumber. De-energize and depressurize the system completely before servicing any fittings. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly, deburred, and properly flared to a 45-degree angle using a calibrated flaring tool before making the connection. Do not overtighten the flare nut, as this can distort the flare seating surface and cause leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Connector\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: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlare Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flare x MNPTF\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\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.42 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.07 pounds\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\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: 48F-6-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538323505458,"sku":"48F-6-4","price":26.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/40b9297ae9c957dec3798f9a355b447b.jpg?v=1785823013","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-48f-6-4-brass-flared-tube-connector-3-8-in-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
