Brass Tube Fitting 3/8 Flare x 1/4 Male Pipe

This Anderson Metals half union compression tube fitting, constructed from brass, features a flared tube connection and a male NPT connection, making it ideal for fuel and gas systems. The brass material provides corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability.

This fitting simplifies the process of connecting and disconnecting two tubes without the need for a coupling. It boasts a flared tube connection on one end and a male National Pipe Taper (NPT) connection on the other, ensuring a secure seal when connecting to a female NPT threaded tube. The assembly is designed to resist mechanical pullout, enhancing the connection's stability, and can be easily assembled and reassembled without compromising the seal.

Operating within a temperature range of -65 to +250 degrees F, this half union compression tube fitting is suitable for use in fuel and gas systems, plumbing, refrigeration, and vacuum applications. Tube fittings are essential components used in pneumatic and hydraulic systems for connecting, branching, terminating, and changing the tubing direction.

Anderson Metals, a leading manufacturer of brass fittings, valves, and pipe nipples, was established in 1951 and is headquartered in Kansas City, MO.

These fittings are not compliant with federal law for potable water use in the U.S.A. and its territories due to the inclusion of lead. They come equipped with a 45-degree flare head tube connection on one side and a male NPT connection on the other, offering ease of use and a reliable connection.
