In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Meet the JMF Company 1/2 in. Flare X 3/8 in. D Flare Brass Reducing Tee — a compact, dependable junction crafted to connect two 1/2 in flare lines to a 3/8 in flare branch. Built for copper and aluminum tubing, this lead-free brass fitting delivers solid, leak-tight performance in HVAC, refrigeration, and automotive A/C applications. The distinctive red-brass finish aids quick identification in busy workspaces, helping you stay organized on every install.

Key Features

  • Two 1/2 in flare ports and one 3/8 in flare port for efficient branching from a larger line to a smaller line within a single fitting
  • Lead-free brass construction for safety, reliability, and long-lasting service in demanding environments
  • Red/brass finish provides easy visual differentiation in complex assemblies
  • Compatible with copper and aluminum tubing to suit a wide range of system designs
  • ANSI certified ensuring adherence to recognized standards for flare fittings
  • Maximum temperature rating up to 250°F for typical refrigerant and HVAC service conditions
  • Single unit per package ready for immediate use in your next job

Ideal Use Cases

  • Branching a 1/2 in flare line to feed a 3/8 in flare component within refrigeration or air conditioning systems
  • Replacing worn or damaged tees in copper or aluminum refrigerant lines, or when retrofitting to a smaller branch line
  • Servicing automotive A/C or small-scale HVAC projects where compact flare connections are essential
  • Any scenario that requires a robust, flare-style junction with precise sizing (1/2 in to 3/8 in) in a tight footprint

Installation Tips

  • Pair the reducing tee with matching flare nuts and sleeves for a proper seal
  • Ensure all flare surfaces are clean, deburred, and free of oil or residue before assembly
  • Align fittings carefully to avoid cross-threading and maintain a straight, leak-free joint
  • After installation, perform a leak test with an approved method (soapy solution or pressure test) to confirm integrity

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
