BrassCraft 1/4 inch x 1/8 inch Flared 90° Reducing Elbow – Lead-Free, No Nut

The BrassCraft 1/4 inch x 1/8 inch Flared Reducing Elbow is a 90-degree fitting designed for joining dissimilar tube sizes at a right angle, enabling compact, leak-resistant transitions in gas or liquid supply lines. This elbow features a flared connection on each end and is manufactured without a flare nut, intended for use in systems where flare nuts are installed separately.

Engineered for Reliability in Demanding Applications

• Lead-Free Brass: Machined from high-quality, lead-free brass compliant with federal low-lead regulations (Safe Drinking Water Act, NSF/ANSI 372).
• Flared Connections: Precision-machined flared ends (1/4 inch x 1/8 inch) are designed to meet SAE J512 specifications, ensuring a metal-to-metal seal without requiring thread sealants.
• Corrosion Resistance: Brass construction provides resistance to dezincification, corrosion, and stress fatigue common in long-term service conditions.
• Temperature & Pressure Ratings: Rated up to 200°F and 650 PSI when properly installed in compatible systems.

Specifications

• Connection Type: Flare x Flare (No Nut)
• Size: 1/4 inch OD Tube x 1/8 inch OD Tube

Typical Use Cases

This reducing elbow is commonly used in refrigeration, fuel line, natural gas, LP gas, and water distribution systems. Its compact 90-degree configuration allows for space-saving installations where direct routing isn’t possible or practical.

Installation Guidance

Ensure that tubing is properly flared and cut square to match the fitting dimensions. Do not use thread sealant on flared fittings. Torque the flare nuts to the recommended specifications for your tubing material and system pressure. This elbow does not include flare nuts and should be paired with compatible fittings.
