Parker 48IFHD-12-12 Brass Inverted Male Flare Connector

Product Description

The PARKER 48IFHD-12-12 is a brass inverted male flare connector designed for use in fluid and gas line assemblies requiring a secure, leak-resistant metal-to-metal seal. It accepts a 3/4 inch tube OD on the flare end and connects to a 3/4-14 male NPTF threaded port on the other end. Rated to 550 psi maximum working pressure and 250 degrees F maximum working temperature, this fitting is built for demanding service conditions. The all-brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability across a wide range of compatible media. It meets SAE J51 standards and carries a UL listing.

This connector is suited for refrigeration, HVAC, and fluid power applications where an inverted flare-to-NPTF transition is required. It is commonly installed in equipment lines, manifold assemblies, and service connections where a 3/4 inch flared tube must terminate at a male pipe thread port. Licensed HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and plumbing professionals install this fitting as part of system assembly or service repair work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician, refrigeration mechanic, or plumber. De-energize and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure mating tube ends are properly formed to the inverted flare specification per SAE J51 before assembly. Do not overtighten; follow applicable trade practices and any governing code requirements such as those referenced in the IFGC or IPC for pipe thread connections.
