About this item

  • SIZE - 3/8" Flare Nuts. Flare end is SAE 45 degrees, please refer to the dimension drawing for specific diameter, These brass fittings are low in lead but not suitable for drinking water.
  • MATERIAL - Made of high-quality brass, with strong wear and corrosion resistance, high compressive strength, durability, low magnetic permeability and high temperature ductility.
  • Use - Suitable for liquefied petroleum gas and gases such as natural gas and propane, fuel equipment, flammable liquids, propane, instrumentation, refrigeration, vacuum lines, power steering, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, manufactured for low and medium pressure piping connection engineering.
  • WORKING PRESSURE & TEMPERATURE - 1200PSI maximum working pressure, temperature range -65°F to +250°F (-53°C to +121°C)
  • WORKING PRINCIPLE - By flaring the end of the pipe to make its diameter larger, fixed to the flare fitting by means of a flare nut, the main function is to increase the flow cross-section of the pipe, reduce the resistance of the fluid, thereby increasing the flow rate and flow velocity of the fluid, with the advantages of temperature and pressure resistance, good sealing and repeatability, no need to weld, dismantling, easy installation and maintenance, and so on.


Flare fittings are the components in the pipeline system that play the roles of connection, control, reversal, diversion, sealing, and support.

Note that these brass flare nuts are low in lead but not suitable for drinking water.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

1. Flare fittings are suitable for occasions where it is necessary to increase the flow cross-section and reduce fluid resistance, such as industrial piping systems, hydraulic systems, etc.

2. Flare fittings effectively reduce the risk of leakage by flaring the end of the pipe into a flared shape, which then fits with the tapered part of the fitting to form a double seal.

3. Specialized tools and skills are required for flaring and installation.

4. The sealing performance of flare fittings is excellent, and the sealing is mainly realized by crimping the slant side inner sealing way, which avoids the end face of the pipe from contacting with the fluid.

5. Flare fittings have strong pressure-bearing capacity, and the pipe wall at the flare is strengthened so that it can withstand higher pressure.

MATTERS NEED ATTENTION:

1. Saw off the appropriate length of pipe, need to remove the port burrs.

2. Expand one end of the pipe uniformly into a flared shape using special tools (flapper and heat gun).

3. It is recommended to apply lubricating oil during assembly.

4. Make sure the two ports fit perfectly by means of a nut or other fastening means to achieve a secure connection. Do not over-twist when tightening as this may damage the fitting or crack the pipe at the flared end.

5. When purchasing flare fittings, consider the application as this will affect the material type, shape, size and desired durability. Fittings are threaded or unthreaded and come in many shapes, styles, sizes and schedules (wall thickness)

I'm continually impressed by this company's brass fittings. Had a big project and these (along with some other fittings from them) did a great job. Well made, well cut threads, no loose metal pieces hanging on. Screwed right on my flare fittings without a hitch. Great product, and so nice to have a big set in one bag.

Review of ”ChillWaves Brass Flare Tube Fittings, SAE 45 Degree 5/8" Flare Nut...":(Please refer to my reviewing guidelines at the bottom of the page).These are very good quality short flare nuts. As you can see by the photos that compare it to a long flare nut from stock, they are made with good quality brass and the threads and flare are very clean and work as they should. I've done some market research on Amazon and these flare nuts are priced competitively at $2.50 each.My responsibility as an Amazon Vine Reviewer:Considering the Amazon rules/regulations for being a Vine Member It is obvious that it is very important to Amazon that the person doing the review has indeed inspected, tested, used the product as well as being aware of the competitive situation of the market segment. This is so it can be fairly compared and reviewed whether good, bad, average, or anywhere in all of the grey area between. One thing that I wish were better defined by Amazon is exactly what each star should represent from 1 to 5 so that every Vine member would use the same guide in that regard. So, to let you know the guide that I use, I include it as follows:I always start off considering that average is 3 stars, and an average rating to me is: The product was correctly represented in the ad. The manufacturing quality is as expected. The product performed as intended. The product operating/user guide if needed is helpful. The product is priced accordingly.Then after inspection, measuring, testing, using, wearing, or whatever is required I add or subtract from the average as follows: Subject to additional stars: Additional product features not expected that are useful. Manufacturing quality/performance above what was stated or expected. Included guides and/or useful information that is beyond the norm. Product pricing highly competitive for a superior product. Subject to fewer stars: The product was misrepresented in the ad. Manufacturing quality/performance below what was stated or expected. No useful guide or understandable user information when required. Product pricing is on the high side considering quality, features, or the market.all the best,dr
