It features a 37-degree flare seat mating to an NPTF threaded end, providing a secure metal-to-metal seal without the need for additional sealant on the flared side. With a 1\/2 inch tube outside diameter, this connector is a standard fitting used by plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working on medium-pressure fluid or gas lines. The NPTF thread form creates a dry-seal connection that reduces the risk of leakage at the threaded end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant or oil line assemblies, and general industrial fluid systems where 37-degree flare fittings are specified. The flare x NPTF configuration makes it a practical transition fitting between flared tubing runs and threaded pipe or component ports. It is commonly installed in fuel lines, hydraulic circuits, and compressed air systems that call for a 37-degree JIC-style flare interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e37-degree flare seat for standard JIC-style metal-to-metal sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPTF threaded end provides a dry-seal connection without pipe dope on the thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch tube outside diameter fits standard half-inch tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in medium-pressure fluid and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlare x NPTF end configuration allows transition between flared tubing and threaded ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a 37-degree flare to NPTF connector with a 1\/2 inch tube outside diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician familiar with flare fitting assembly procedures. Always depressurize and isolate the line before disassembling or installing fittings. Use a calibrated flaring tool to produce a clean, concentric 37-degree flare on the tubing end before seating the connector. Inspect the flare seat and mating surfaces for nicks or debris that could cause leaks before torquing the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlared Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flare x NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C34180\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696124789042,"sku":"C34180","price":16.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1387a1cbc85e69f037e155e448d18e22_f8ca14a3-a5c1-41a7-823b-c375e9e3719f.jpg?v=1788340156","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-c34180-steel-flared-tube-connector","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
