Practical use cases
- Remodels or repairs where a flare line must connect to a hose-thread inlet, such as appliance hookups, condensate lines, or irrigation components.
- Custom configurations in tight utility closets or basements where standard fittings won’t fit without obstruction.
- Low-pressure systems up to 75 psi, where a secure, leak-free elbow is critical for dependable operation.
Installation tips
- Align the flare and FHT ends carefully to ensure a clean seal; avoid cross-threading by hand-starting before wrench tightening.
- Use appropriate wrenches on the hex flats to prevent twisting the tubing or damaging the fitting.
- For the FHT side, ensure threads are clean and dry before assembly; do not over-tighten to avoid stripping threads.
- Never exceed the 75 psi maximum pressure or 100°F maximum temperature rating for this elbow.
