5/8 inch x 1/2 inch Brass Flared Reducing Adapter OD Flare x Male

5/8 Inch OD Flare x 1/2 Inch MIP Brass Reducing Adapter – Lead-Free

This 5/8 inch outside diameter flare x 1/2 inch male iron pipe (MIP) brass reducing adapter is engineered for use in fuel gas, air, water, and hydraulic systems requiring a reliable flared connection. It transitions between flare-type tubing and standard pipe thread configurations, commonly used in pressure-rated systems.

Product Features

• Material: Forged lead-free brass (compliant with NSF 61 and NSF 372 for potable water applications)
• Size: 5/8 inch OD flare x 1/2 inch MIP
• Connection Type: 45° flare to male NPT
• Working Pressure: Up to 200 psi for gas; higher ratings possible for air or liquid systems (verify per system spec)
• Temperature Range: -65°F to 250°F, suitable for gas and hydraulic use

Applications

This brass flare fitting is widely used in gas appliance connections, refrigeration lines, fuel oil systems, and hydraulic equipment. It allows a smooth, mechanical seal between dissimilar connection types while maintaining system integrity under pressure.

Advantages

• Corrosion Resistance: Brass resists degradation in most environments, making it ideal for indoor and light outdoor use
• Mechanical Integrity: The flared end creates a metal-to-metal seal that performs well under vibration and thermal cycling
• Precision Machining: Tapered threads and flare seat are manufactured to ANSI and SAE standards to ensure tight, leak-free installations

Installation Guidelines

For proper installation, use a calibrated flare tool and avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to mating surfaces. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MIP threads only. Flare connections should remain clean and free from debris to ensure proper sealing. Always test for leaks according to system standards after installation.

Compliance

Meets or exceeds ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 (thread standards) and SAE J512 (flare fittings). Certified lead-free to comply with federal and state regulations for potable water systems.

Note:

Not intended for use with soft plastic tubing. Designed exclusively for use with copper or other flare-compatible metal tubing in high-integrity gas or fluid systems.
