Brass Flare Male Elbow
Brass Flare Male Elbow
037-DFME
The Brass Flare Male Elbow is a precision-engineered 90-degree fitting designed to connect flared tubing to female-threaded ports in HVAC, refrigeration, gas, and fluid transfer systems. Manufactured from premium forged brass alloys such as CW617N or C37700, this fitting provides excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life.
The elbow features a 45° flare connection that forms a secure metal-to-metal seal, ensuring leak-proof performance without the need for additional sealants. Its male threaded end allows easy installation into female-threaded ports, while the 90° design enables efficient directional changes in piping systems where space is limited.
Brass Flare Male Elbows are widely used in air conditioning systems, refrigeration equipment, gas pipelines, hydraulic machinery, and industrial fluid transfer systems, where reliable and durable flare connections are required.
Key Features
Material Quality:Â Made from high-grade forged brass, known for excellent corrosion resistance against water, refrigerants, mild acids, and gases, providing long service life in demanding environments.
Precision Manufacturing:Â CNC machined with tight dimensional tolerances to ensure flawless fitment and sealing.
Design: 90° male elbow with a flare fitting on one end and a male thread on the other, allowing smooth directional changes in tubing runs without compromising seal integrity.
Connection & Seal: Features a 45° SAE flare angle on the tube side, producing a strong metal-to-metal seal that eliminates the need for additional sealants or tapes.
Thread Options:Â Available in SAE (UNF), NPT, BSP, and Metric threads to meet a wide variety of international standards and customer requirements.
Pressure & Temperature: Rated for up to 800 PSI operating pressure and a temperature range from -65°F (-53°C) up to 250°F (121°C), suitable for most HVAC and refrigeration applications.
Surface Finish:Â Natural brass finish with optional nickel or chrome plating to enhance corrosion resistance and visual appeal.
Installation & Maintenance:Â Designed for easy installation using standard flare wrenches. The fitting is serviceable and reusable, allowing disassembly and reassembly without leak risks.
