Description

This Anderson Metals half union compression tube fitting is made of brass, has a flared tube connection and a male NPT connection, and is suitable for use with fuel and gas systems. It is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. This fitting can be used with copper, brass, aluminum, or steel tubing to connect and disconnect two tubes more easily than with a coupling. It has a flared tube connection on one end and a male National Pipe Taper (NPT) connection on the other for connecting to a female NPT threaded tube, creating a tighter seal than straight threads. This fitting is part of an assembly that resists mechanical pullout for a more secure connection, and can be assembled and reassembled without affecting the seal. This half union compression tube fitting has an operating temperature range of -65 to +250 degrees F and is suitable for use with fuel and gas systems, plumbing, refrigeration, and vacuum applications.Tube fittings are components used for connecting, branching, terminating, and changing the direction of tubing in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), and other materials that resist corrosion and wear. Tube fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, welded, barbed, and push-to-connect (also called one-touch). Push-to-connect connections do not require tools or sealants. Tube fittings are used in various applications, including machine tools, airplane and truck controls, and automated production lines, among others.Anderson Metals manufactures brass fittings, valves, and pipe nipples. The company, founded in 1951, is headquartered in Kansas City, MO.

  • Fit my HVAC vacuum pump perfectly.
Size: 1/2" Flare x 3/8" NPT Male
Fit perfectly on my MasterCool Vacuum pump. I was looking to improve my vacuum times, I recently purchased a Yellow Jacket vacuum pump tree that had a 1/2" connection. The original connection was 5/16" and 1/4", which wouldn't work. This connection worked flawlessly, I tested it last night on a 30lb recovery bottle. I was able to pull down to 500 microns in 6min,27sec, which is amazingly fast. Using a set of Fieldpiece SMAN manifold typical time is about 20-30 minutes. The brass fitting was perfect, no burs or blemishes. The treads were true and I was able to securely connect a my hoses to it. Superb quality, zero issues at a decent price. Thanks! ... show more
